Abstract To achieve a reconfigurable photonic integrated circuit with active elements, we proposed a reflectivity tunable mirror constructed using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with a micro heater and loop waveguide on a silicon photonics platform. In this paper, the principle of the operation, design, fabrication, and measurement results of the mirror are presented. In theory, the phase shift dependence of the mirror relies on the coupling coefficient of the directional couplers of the MZI. When the coupling coefficient κ2 was 0.5 and 0.15, the reflection could be turned on and off with a phase shift of π/2 and π, respectively. The reflection power of the fabricated mirror on the silicon on insulator (SOI) substrate was changed by more than 20 dB by a phase shift. In addition, it was demonstrated that the phase shift dependence of the mirror changes with the coupling coefficient of the fabricated devices.
