Abstract: A reconfigurable integrated optical microswitch device (1) comprises a base layer (100), an adhesive layer (102) made of non-conducting material, a first layer of driving electrodes (104) arranged above the non-conducting adhesive layer (102), a layer of electro-optical material (106) arranged on the first layer of driving electrodes (104), a plurality of waveguides (50) afforded in the layer of electro-optical material (106), and a second layer of driving electrodes (110), arranged above the layer of electro-optical material (106) and connected to the plurality of waveguides (50). The device further comprises a layer of dielectric insulating material (108) arranged between the layer of electro-optical material (106) and the second layer of driving electrodes (110).
