  • Abstract
    Photoelastic channel optical waveguides showing strong lateral confinement at ¿=1.55 ¿m have been fabricated by etching a narrow slot through a Au Schottky contact deposited on an n/n+ GaAs layer. Such structures allow electro-optic directional coupler switches of short coupling length (~2 mm) to be easily realised.
