To reduce the crosstalk of the polymer waveguide optical switches, waveguide attenuators are integrated with the switch on the same substrate. The switch and attenuator shares a single connected electrode which is controlled by a single current source. Due to the simple structure of the integrated a

## Abstract This Letter a 2 × 2 multimode interference (MMI) Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) electro‐optic switch is designed for operation at 1.55‐μm wavelength. This electro‐optic switch is designed based on silicon‐on‐insulator (SOI) waveguides. With the use of an SOI phase shifter designed in
## Abstract Grating waveguide couplers with a flat surface were fabricated in an azobenzene liquid‐crystalline polymer film by holographic lithography using Ar^+^ laser beams at 488 nm. When a probe beam at 633 nm was incident to one grating of a grating waveguide coupler, the beam propagated in th
