Evaluation of a BTO-Based Photonic Switch Using Standard Directional Couplers
Bachelor internship - Leuven | Just now
Silicon photonics requires compact and energy-efficient optical switches for next-generation communication and computing systems. This internship will evaluate a photonic switch based on a standard directional coupler integrated with Barium Titanate (BTO), a material offering a strong electro-optic effect. Through device design and simulation, key performance metrics such as insertion loss, extinction ratio, switching efficiency, and footprint will be assessed to explore the potential of BTO-enabled switching for future silicon photonic integrated circuits.
Type of internship: Bachelor internship
