Abstract
A 1 × 4 optical switch based on a frequency tunable cleaved coupled cavity (C3) laser and a grating demultiplexer is demonstrated. The switch, which can easily be expanded to a generalN \times Nswitch WithNas high as 13 has a 2 ns access time with negligible crosstalk between the channels.Keywords
