Abstract :
A multicasting photonic switch reconfigurable in 50 ns is demonstrated utilizing acousto-optic Bragg cells at λ=0.83 μm. Crosstalk of -20 dB and an extinction ratio of -30 dB have been measured. Theoretical calculations indicate a maximum switch size of 20×20 and an insertion loss of 11 dB
