Photothermal Switching Based on Silicon Mach–Zehnder Interferometer Integrated With Light Absorber

We present an all-optical switch based on photothermal effects in a silicon Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) integrated with a light absorber. The metal–insulator–metal light absorber located near the longer arm of the asymmetric MZI efficiently converts infrared li...
