Abstract-The first integrated InP-based polarization independent optical crossconnect is reported. The device can crossconnect signals at four wavelengths independently from two input fibers to two output fibers. Total on-chip loss is less then 16 dB. Device size is 7 2 9 mm 2 .
Abstract-An improved technology for realizing high-quality PHASAR's is reported, which is compatible with the integration of electrooptical switches for use in add-drop multiplexers. This technology is demonstrated in a 16-channel polarization independent low loss (<2.4 dB on-chip) PHASAR.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
