Abstract
We propose a wavelength-insensitive optical switch that has a twist ne matic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) panel for multimode or single-mo de fiber communication systems application. The preferable operating f requency of the device is 0.1k-10k Hz ac wave. The critical and satura ted voltages are as low as 3 Vrms and 5.8 Vrms, respectively. A high e xtinction ratio of 28.3 dB is obtained. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, In c.
