  • Abstract
    We experimentally demonstrate a 4×4 strictly non-blocking silicon thermo-optic (TO) switch fabric consisting of three stages of tunable generalized Mach-Zehnder interferometers. Measurements show that the worst crosstalk of all switching states is -7.16 dB. The average TO switching power consumption is 104.84 mW.
