Abstract
The understanding of guided wave switching devices and optical switching system needs has matured such that it is appropriate to consider optimum system architectures and optimum device topology(1,2,3). Here we report switch modules which simultaneously optimize these constraints. We first describe an architecture that deals with the constraints of guided wave photonic switch arrays. Then we discuss the design, fabrication and testing of the switch modules utilized in this architecture.
