title = "High efficiency optical switches with heater-on-slab (HoS) structures",
abstract = "We propose optical switches in which the heater is fabricated directly on the slab region of the rib waveguide. Two types of Heater-on-Slab (HoS) switches were investigated. In the first type, the silicon slab regions are doped highly to form the heaters. For this type of switches, the switching power is \textasciitilde{}85 mW and the switching time is \textasciitilde{}27 μs. In the second type, a strip of metal in direct contact with the silicon slab forms the heater. For this type of switches, the switching power is \textasciitilde{}25 mW and the switching time is \textasciitilde{}17 μs. An extinction ratio of \textasciitilde{}28.4 dB was also achieved.",
