Abstract
We show the mode crosstalk between the fundamental mode and the 1st order mode based on the optical mode switch to investigate the performance experimentally for the first time. In order to evaluate the mode crosstalk, we fabricated and integrated multimode interference (MMI) mode filter with the optical mode switch. The crosstalk of approximately −10 dB between modes has been evaluated by using this mode filter.

Electrically controlled optical-mode switch for fundamental mode and first order mode

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an optical mode switch based on the partial phase shift of injected light, and they focused on the bending radius of the S-bend waveguide issue that is connected to the multi mode waveguide in the Y-junction section that acts as mode combiner.
