Abstract

Abstract : The first 40 Gbit/s multipath data routing is demonstrated in a two‐dimensional switch matrix composed of high‐order resonant optical switches. Broadband connectivity with on‐state bandwidths exceeding 100 GHz, chip losses below 9.0 dB and signal extinction above 20 dB is achieved through the four paths on the diagonal of the 4 × 4 matrix. 40 Gbit/s data routing is demonstrated through three of these paths with power penalties below 0.5 dB for each path.
