Claim 12:
13. An integrated 2×2 array element comprising:
in cross section:
a cladding;
a high k dielectric layer disposed within said cladding;
a first waveguide and a second waveguide disposed adjacent to said high k dielectric layer; and
at least one two dimensional monolayer pad disposed on or in said high k dielectric layer adjacent to a portion of said first waveguide and said second waveguide;
in a plane of a layer perpendicular to said cross section:
said first waveguide including two curves to first controlled waveguide section, and about parallel, said second waveguide including two curves to second controlled waveguide section, said curves to cause said first controlled waveguide section and said second controlled waveguide section to be closer to each other than said first waveguide and said second waveguide about parallel waveguides before and after the curves; and
said at least one two dimensional monolayer pad disposed on or in said high k dielectric layer adjacent to each controlled portion of said first waveguide and said second waveguide.
