Abstract
We propose a new type of multimode waveguide (MMW) where the switching
operation is controlled by decreasing the refractive indexes of certa
in regions of the waveguide. They are simpler in structure than those
based on a phase shifter, and need fewer controllers in every switchin
g operation-a feature very attractive for larger matrices. (C) 1998 Jo
