摘要
Multimode interference (MMI) waveguide switches show promise for switch in optical packet switching (OPS). In this work, we fabricated 1 x 4 InGaAsP/InP MMI waveguide switch device which consists of a 1 x 4 MMI splitter, 4 equally spaced single-mode waveguides with phase shifters, and a 4 x 4 MMI combiner. Good crosstalk and extinction ratio of -14.47 dB and 23.39 dB, respectively, are obtained. In addition, we experimentally demonstrate dynamic switching, and the rise and fall time of 1.4 ns and 1.2 ns, respectively, are obtained. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
