Analysis of a Silicon Reconfigurable Feed-Forward Optical Delay Line

We analyze a silicon reconfigurable feed-forward optical delay line (ODL) composed of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) switches and waveguide delay pairs. Optical delay is step-tuned by switching among optical routes with an incremental length difference. The crosstalk caused by limited ex...
