Abstract

We propose a thermo-optic phase shifter which uses multimode interference. Electrodes are attached to the section where the multimode interference has minimum optical power in the sidewalls. We use the Silicon large thermo-optic constant to create an integrated optical device to control the state of light in several microseconds, for both heating and cooling times.
