Abstract :
In this paper, we mainly focus on the characteristics of photo-activated phase shifters employing the organic semiconductor. Organic semiconducting polymers have been the focus of many studies on optically controlled technology because of their optics absorption, flexibility and plasticity properties. The photonic devices particularly are driven by the need for dynamic control, fast response, immunity from electromagnetic interference, and good isolation between the controlling and controlled devices.
