Abstract

A comparative analysison characteristics of the two phase shifting schemes, length difference scheme (LDS) and refractive index difference scheme(RIDS), is carried out onsilica based phase shifters designed respectively by thetwo schemes. Results show that overthe wavelength range of 1500-1600 nm,phase shifter designed by LDS possesses higher sensitivityto wavelength, and also higher immunity towaveguidefabricationimperfections, in terms of waveguide geometry, and waveguide refractive index as well;by contrast, phase shifter designed by RIDShas a wider working wavelength range, but it suffers from much higher sensitivity to waveguide fabrication imperfections..
