Abstract
Bit error rate at 10 Gbit/s and channel switching characteristics of a monolithically integrated 64-channel selector were measured. Error-free operation on all channels with a typical sensitivity penalty of 1.3 dB was confirmed. Fast channel switching <1.0 ns for rise-time and <1.5 ns for fall-time were obtained
