Abstract
The first demonstration of fast and lossless optical packet switching with an InP monolithic 16-channel wavelength selector module is reported. Switching time below 1 ns, average polarisation-dependent loss below 2 dB and error-free transmission are demonstrated for an injected current around 50 mA
