| description | In accordance with the invention, a high speed thermo-optic phase shifter comprises a length of optical waveguide including a waveguiding core of a first material having an index of refraction n1 and a first order temperature dependence |dn1/dT| and, optically coupled to the core, a length of a second material having an index n2 preferably greater than the core (n2>n1) and a first order temperature dependence |dn2/dT| than the core (|dn2/dT|>|dn1/dT|). Advantageously, the length of second material is adiabatically tapered at both ends. Upon heating, as by a resistance heater, the second material changes the optical pathlength by an amount predominantly determined by |dn2/dT| providing faster switching speed. In a preferred embodiment, the core comprises silica, and the second material comprises silicon to produce switching speeds up to a few hundred MHz. |
