Abstract :
A monolithically integrated InGaAsP/InP 1x5 optical phased-array switch has been utilized for broadband wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical packet switching (OPS) application. Using the wide optical bandwidth of the switch, we have achieved error-free forwarding of 320-Gbps (40-Gbps x 8 channel) WDM signal with less than 1.3 dB penalty.
