Broadband silicon photonics 8 × 8 switch based on double-Mach-Zehnder element switches.

We fabricated and characterized a silicon photonics 8 × 8 strictly non-blocking optical switch based on double-Mach-Zehnder (MZ) element switches. The double-MZ switches, each of which consisted of an intersection and two asymmetric MZ switches, enabled the suppression of crosstalk across a wide wavelength range. The 8 × 8 switch exhibited an average fiber-to-fiber insertion loss of 11.2 dB and -20 dB crosstalk in a bandwidth wider than 30 nm. Furthermore, we constructed an 8 × 8 polarization-diversity switch by using two 8 × 8 switches and demonstrated 32-Gbaud dual-polarization, quadrature-phase-shift-keying, four-channel wavelength-division-multiplexed signal transmission without significant signal degradation.
