  • Abstract
    A magneto-optical (MO) switch with amorphous silicon waveguides on a magneto-optic garnet is fabricated. The device uses the MO phase shift where the magnetic field is applied by the current flow in an electric wiring. The switch exhibited an extinction ratio of 11.7 dB at a wavelength of 1550 nm.
