Abstract
A 4×4 multicasting photonic space switch architecture with minimal hardware and control complexity has been demonstrated utilizing commercially available acousto-optic Bragg cells at λ = 0.83 µm. Insertion loss of 15 dB, crosstalk of -24 dB, extinction ratio of 33 dB, and polarization difference of 0.8 dB are reported.
