Waveguide amplification switch

An apparatus includes a polymer waveguide having a doped region, with amplifying dopant, separating a first un-doped region and a second un-doped region. The doped region being doped with an amplifying dopant. An optical pump source illuminates the doped region to allow light to transmit from the fi...
