MEMS-Enabled Scalable Silicon Photonic Switches

Abstract

Large-scale integrated photonic switches (50x50 and 64x64) have been realized by combining silicon photonics with efficient MEMS switching mechanisms. These switches are based on passive crossbar architecture, which is fundamentally more scalable than other switches.
