Abstract

We propose an adiabatic all-optical switch composed of an Y- branch, Ag for Na ion-exchanged glass waveguide covered by PDMA film. We employ effective index method to analyze the property of propagation of the waveguide and give the reasonable parameters of the waveguide structure. For demonstration of nonlinear switching behaviors in the device, we employ a beam propagation method to simulate optical field propagation.
