We presented a reconfigurable bi-directional WDM optical switch matrix and its potential role in a cross-cube architecture. The presented optical switch matrices have shown extinction ratios greater than 40 dB, propagation losses of less than 1 dB/cm and reconfigurations times of less than 100 ns with a footprint of less than 0.3 cm2.
With avionic platforms moving toward integrated optical networks, platforms are replacing electrical components with their optical counterparts. Replacing electronic components and copper wire with photonic chips and optical fibers provide large means of reducing the overall Size Weight and Power (SWaP), which is highly desirable for deployed avionic platforms [1–2]. In an optical LAN, optical fibers...
We presented a reconfigurable bi-directional optical routing fabric that utilizes slow-light photonic crystals to reduce SWaP for avionic and satellite platforms. The optical router function uses the electro-optic effect in conjunction with a p-i-n diode to provide active switching and reconfiguration, while using slow-light to reduce the overall footprint of router and operate with low power consumption.
Our recently-proposed optical-RF dual slot modulator achieves nanoscale confinement and can afford extremely low Vπ modulators. These devices require the convergence of novel materials and processing techniques to integrate organic materials and silicon.
