We review our recent results in multi-port strictly non-blocking optical switches based on silicon photonics. Silicon photonics switches are one of the most important devices to realize future data…
Silicon-based optical media present several desirable properties for a wide range of applications. Herein, we propose a novel hybrid integration scheme that combines a silicon photonics platform an…
The design of a novel 1 × M fold-back type wavelength selective switch (WSS), which has fewer waveguide crossings than a conventional integrated WSS, is reported. The WSS is composed of interleave…
In this article, we report the development of a strictly non-blocking 8 × 8 silicon photonics switch designed to operate in the O-band. This 8 × 8 switch is based on path-independent insertion-lo…
We propose and demonstrate a port-alternated switch-and-select architecture for planar waveguide-based optical switches. The proposed architecture reduces the number of intersections on a path, whi…
With the recent growth of network traffic demands, a high-capacity optical-path network based on reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADMs) is highly desirable. Among the various technol…
