1. An optical switch structure comprising:
a substrate;
a first electrical contact;
a first material having a first conductivity type electrically connected to the first electrical contact;
a second material having a second conductivity type coupled to the first material;
a second electrical contact electrically connected to the second material; and
a waveguide structure disposed between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact and comprising:
a waveguide core coupled to the substrate and including a core material characterized by a first index of refraction; and
a waveguide cladding at least partially surrounding the waveguide core and including a cladding material characterized by a second index of refraction less than the first index of refraction and an isotope-enhanced Pockels effect.
