ABSTRACT:
We propose a dynamically tunable electro-optic cladding using our proprietary electro-optic material, applied to various circular and planar wave-guides along with specific electrode configuration and excitation electric field format appropriate to that material. Based on the evanescent field coupling phenomena, the proposed device may be used in variable optical attenuators, tunable filters and couplers, etc. Different design of applied electrodes and optical properties of controllable refractive index materials allow polarization dependent or independent, as well as direct or inverse operation regimes of proposed devices.
