Keywords:Optical switch, Polymer

By connecting a mirror to the output end of the polymer MZI type optical switch, we realized a device that outputs the switched light upward and can be connected to a multi-core fiber. In addition, we report that the switch operation without polarization dependence was also confirmed.
