Super-compact monolithically integrated polymer-based reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM)

Abstract
Monolithically integrated polymer-based ROADM has been fabricated using super-high refractive-index contrast (Δn = 0.020) polymers. The measured insertion loss is <17 dB, the crosstalk is < -22 dB and the chip-size is 20 × 30 mm. (2 pages)
