Abstract

Silicon photonic switches are recognized as a key element in the applications of telecommunication networks, data center and high-throughput computing due to the low losses, low power consumption, large bandwidth and high integrated density. In this paper our recent works on silicon photonic switches for reconfigurable photonic integrated devices and circuits used in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM), mode-division-multiplexing (MDM), as well as hybrid WDM-MDM systems. First, high-performance Mach-Zehnder switches with an ultra-broad bandwidth, polarization-insensitivity, and low phase errors are reviewed. Second, wavelength-selective photonic switches based on MRRs are discussed. Finally, the progresses of multi-channel reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers are reviewed.
