Abstract :
We analyzed the switching performances of an InAlGaAs/InAlAs/InP multi-mode interference photonic switch with Mach-Zehnder interferometer. In the result, it is shown that the device can achieve high performances concerning lower crosstalk, lower power consumption and less polarization dependence.
