Performance-Improved Broadcast-and-Select Optical Switch Module Based on EAM-Gate Array

Performance improvement of a broadcast-and-select (B&S) optical switch based on an electro-absorption modulator (EAM)-gate array is presented. The introduction of a novel spot-size converter (SSC) with an easy fabrication process reduced the optical coupling loss between the switch's wa...
