Summary :

A thermo-optic phase shifter consisting of a thin film heater deposited on a bridge-suspended silica waveguide on a silicon substrate is proposed for reducing electric power consumption of the phase shifter. A successful application to a guided-wave 22 optical switch is demonstrated. The electric power consumption has been reduced to 1/2 to 1/10 depending on the bridge structure.
