Fast 2*2 Mach-Zehnder optical space switches using InGaAsP-InP multiquantum-well structures
Abstract
We report fast 2*2 Mach-Zehnder optical space switches by using quantum confined Stark effect in InGaAsP-InP multiquantum-well structures that are ultracompact, require low voltages, and employ a simple RF drive with RC time-constant limited lumped electrodes. Cut-off frequencies in excess of 10 GHz are observed suitable for a variety of fast optical switching applications.
