Silicon-Based Monolithic 4×4 Wavelength-Selective Cross Connect with On-Chip Micromirrors

摘要

A monolithic 4×4 wavelength-selective cross-connect (chip area = 3.2×4.6 cm{sup}2) is realized by integrating four 4 × 1 MEMS wavelength-selective switches and four 1×4 passive splitters, together with a 4×4 waveguide shuffle network on a silicon-on-insulator. Wavelength-selective routing has been successfully demonstrated.
