  • An integrated vector sum microwave photonic phase shifter(MWPPS) based on the asymmetric Mach-Zendner structure in Silicon on Insulator(SOI) rib waveguides was designed and fabricated for the first time. A fixed true time delay of 47 ps was achieved by a length difference of 3 983 m between the two asymmetric arms. Then two thermo-optical Variable Optical Attenuators(VOAs) were integrated in the two arms respectively to tune the optical power individually. The phase shift ranging from 0 to near 180 for a 10 GHz microwave signal has been achieved by the RI variation of 0.610 in VOAs. The device which has a very compact size could be easily integrated in silicon optoelectronic chips and expected to be widely used in Optically Controlled Phased Array Radars(OCPARs).
