Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of 4${\times}$4 thermo-optic switch using two mode interference(TMI) coupler. We designed this matrix switch by using a configuration which combines a double Mach- Zehnder interferometer(MZI) switching unit. The average extinction ratio and average excess loss of the 4${\times}$4 thermo-optic switch was 33.7dB, 0.29dB, respectively.
