Path-Independent Insertion-Loss (PILOSS) 8 × 8 Silicon Photonics Switch with <8 nsec Switching Time

We demonstrate strictly non-blocking and 8 × 8 silicon photonics switch with 10-90% switching time of <8 nsec, on-chip loss of 3.8±0.19 dB independent of path settings, and 20-dB crosstalk bandwidth of ~30 nm. © 2022 The Author(s)
