Investigation on the stability to UV curing and surrounding temperatures of polymer film for the design of thermo-optic switches

Optical switches are the key component in all optical networks that selectively switch signal from one circuit to another. Many different technogies are available to realize an optical switch. Beyond all the technologies, thermo-optic switches has been exceptionally getting increasing attention due...
