Abstract :
Angled facet spot size converter integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers (SSC-SOAs) with S-shaped waveguides are developed as gate elements in optical matrix switches on planar lightwave circuits (PLC). A high fiber-to-fiber gain of +20 dB and a high extinction ratio of 70 dB are achieved
