Abstract
We demonstrate an elastic multi-wavelength selective switch with up to two wavelength switching capability per crosspoint. We fabricated the switch in a silicon photonics foundry and demonstrated a 17 nm tuning range for ring resonators, with a mean path loss of 2.43 dB. This is a 70% reduction in path loss as compared to previous generations, and we demonstrate a high-speed pulse-amplitude-modulation-4 transmission at 111 Gbps through different paths of the switch.
