System Performance Assessment of a Monolithically Integrated WDM Cross-Connect Switch for Optical Data Centre Networks

We assess the system performance of a photonic integrated 4x4x4lambda WDM cross-connect switch with nanoseconds wavelength, space, time switching operation. Experimental results show error-free dynamic switching of 10 Gb/s, 20 Gb/s, and 40 Gb/s data packets with <2dB penalty.
