Abstract:
An optical phase shifting arrangement and associated optical switching device and method are disclosed. The optical phase shifting arrangement comprises a first optical phase shifter configured to provide a first phase shift to an optical signal, and a second optical phase shifter configured to provide a second phase shift to the optical signal in addition to the first phase shift. During a predefined period, the first optical phase shifter and the second optical phase shifter are driven such that the second phase shift is substantially complementary to the first phase shift.

Claim (Index 12):
The optical switching device of  claim 8 , wherein during the switching period:\n the first optical phase shifter is driven with a square edge signal; and the second optical phase shifter is driven with an impulse signal having a decay selected to compensate a rise time of the first optical phase shifter.
