A micromachined optical double well for thermo-optic switching via resonant tunneling effect

W. M. Zhu, X. M. Zhang, A. Q. Liu, H. Cai, T. Jonathan et al.
This letter presents the thermo-optic switching characteristics of an optical double-well structure, which has a high-low-high-low-high refractive index construct formed by micromachined silicon prisms and air gaps. Analysis shows such structure features full transmission (i.e., on state) and requir ... [Appl. Phys. Lett. 92, 251101 (2008)] published Mon Jun 23, 2008.
