Abstract
In conjunction with nematic liquid crystal, an optical fiber switch di rectly fabricated on a single-mode side-polished fiber was successfull y demonstrated. The principle of operation, fabrication and performanc es of the switch are presented. An operating voltage as low as 30V(p-P ) was demonstrated.
