We present a multifunctional photonic switch that monolithically integrates an InGaAsP/InP quantum well electroabsorption modulator and an InGaAs photodiode as a part of an on-chip, InP optoelectronic circuit. The optical multifunctionality of the switch offers many configurations to allow for different optical network functions on a single chip. Here we experimentally demonstrate GHz-range optical wavelength-converting switching with only ~10 mW of absorbed input optical power, electronically controlled packet switching with a reconfiguration time of <2.5 ns, and optically controlled packet switching in <300 ps.
我们展示了一种多功能光子开关，它将一个InGaAsP/InP量子阱电吸收调制器和一个InGaAs光电二极管单片集成在一起，作为片上InP光电子电路的一部分。该开关的光学多功能性提供了多种配置，可在单个芯片上实现不同的光网络功能。在此，我们通过实验证明了仅需约10 mW的吸收输入光功率即可实现GHz范围内的光波长转换开关，重配置时间小于2.5 ns的电控分组交换，以及在300 ps内实现光控分组交换。
