Multicast 4×20 Silicon Photonic MEMS Switches

Abstract

We report on monolithic 4×20 silicon photonic MEMS switches capable of multicast functions. The switch has small footprint (1.2×4.5mm2), low optical insertion loss (<4.0dB), fast switching (9.6µs). 1×2 and 1×4 multicasts were successfully demonstrated.
