Abstract

The invention relates to the construction of optical multipath switches based on electrically switchable photonic crystals. A filled photonic crystal, switchable electrically and/or by light, is used as a tunable mirror.
By creating selective optical deformations in the photonic crystal, its properties can be influenced in selected areas in terms of transmission capability. This is done preferably by application of a strong electrical field.
Light is coupled in and out via fixed photonic mirrors located at an angle to the photonic crystal. The optical switches of the invention find application in switching networks and serve the purpose of service selection. A very high packing density may be achieved.
