Title :
First ion-exchanged dual thermo-optic variable optical attenuator
Author_Institution :
IOT, Waghausel, Germany
Abstract :
The first dual ion-exchanged integrated variable attenuator with tap-couplers was fabricated. The thermal cross-talk was found to be about 2.1 dB and the simple S-bend tap-coupler exhibit high voltage dependency, due to re-coupling of radiation modes
