在基于微谐振器的硅宽带12梳状光开关中实现了20个连续波长信道的同时全光开关。此外，单通道功率损失测量在开关的活动操作期间在直通和分出输出端口处执行。的下降端口的插入损耗和消光比的两个端口的统计特性显示出广泛的频谱均匀性，和无源操作过程中的误码率测量表明，信号退化的增加可以忽略不计的退出下降端口的波长通道的数量从1到16缩放，与6 dBm的峰值功率每通道。高速宽带交换设备，如这里所描述的，是基于硅光子集成电路的互连网络部署的关键要素。
Simultaneous all-optical switching of 20 continuous-wave wavelength channels is achieved in a microring resonator-based silicon broadband 12 comb switch. Moreover, single-channel power penalty measurements are performed during active operation of the switch at both the through and the drop output ports. A statistical characterization of the drop-port insertion losses and extinction ratios of both ports shows broad spectral uniformity, and bit-error-rate measurements during passive operation indicate a negligible increase in signal degradation as the number of wavelength channels exiting the drop port are scaled from one to 16, with peak powers of 6 dBm per channel. A high-speed broadband switching device, such as the one described here, is a crucial element for the deployment of interconnection networks based on silicon photonic integrated circuits.
