The 45th European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC Post-deadline Paper) |
We demonstrate a wavelength switching PIC whose switching time (0.912 ns) is independent of the tuning range, and an optical switching system (50Gbps PAM4) using the PIC and fast burst-mode channel equalization, achieving 3.84 ns switching latency.
