Abstract
An optically addressed waveguide grating switch is described and demonstrated. Its structure includes a planar slab waveguide with a surface relief grating and an active-material cladding layer. Photoinduced birefringence due to a polarized argon laser beam causes modulation of the refractive index of the cladding in the grating region and modulation of diffraction efficiency of the waveguide grating.
