Abstract :
We demonstrated the full-interport connection of a non-blocking 4x4 InAlGaAs/InAlAs Mach-Zehnder-type optical switch (MZ-OS) fabric. This switch fabric is consisted of six 2x2 MZ-OS elements in a cascading configuration, and it successfully operated with high-extinction ratios of about 20dB and polarization independence.
