Abstract :
We propose optical mode switch configuration for four modes for the first time. It switches one mode to another among 0th to 3rd modes, while keeping compact size of 0.033mm2 including input/output access waveguides. Less than -19dB mode-crosstalk is expected in the present configuration.
