Electrowetting optical switch
View through CrossRef
Continuous electrowetting (CEW) and refractive index matching have been used as the physical basis of an optical switch for multimode fibers. This switch has low cross talk (∼−30 dB), fast response times (∼20 ms), low operating voltage (∼1 V), and low power consumption (∼1 μW).
