Optofluidic Planar Optical Cross-Connect Using Nematic Liquid-Crystal Waveguides

This paper proposes a compact planar optofluidic optical cross-connect (OXC) switch based on electro-optic (EO) waveguides in nematic liquid crystal (NLC). In the cross-bar fabric, each unit cell of the proposed device consists of two portions: the NLC EO waveguides for 1 × 2 switching an...
