Item Open Access Integrated photonic switches for nanosecond packet-switched optical wavelength conversion(Optical Society of America, 2006) Fidaner, O.; Demir, Hilmi Volkan; Sabnis, V. A.; Zheng, J. F.; Harris, J. S.; Miller, D. A. B.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. ©2006 Optical Society of America
