Keywords:Optical switches, Silicon photonics, Photonic integration

Silicon photonic switches are attractive for extensible optical switch systems required for optical networks in telecom areas and datacenters. We show compact 8 × 8 silicon photonic switch modules with low loss, low polarization dependent loss, and low cross-talk properties.
