ABSTRACT:
An optical switch/modulating device includes a pump waveguide that provides a pump light to the switch/modulating device. A waveguide element is positioned parallel to the pump waveguide and receives the pump light that causes the waveguide element to switch or modulate a signal light running through the pumped waveguide.
