title = "A 1x16 photonic switch operating at 1.55 micron wavelength based on optical amplifiers and a passive optical splitter",
abstract = "An InP based 1x16 optical switch is demonstrated. The output ports are spaced 250 microns apart, and the total device length is 5.9 mm. Optical amplifiers are used to both gate the optical signals and to provide optical gain. The total net loss of the device, excluding coupling, is 0-2.5 dB with extinction ratios in excess of 18 dB. The uniformity spread of the 16 channels is better than 6.7 dB.",
