Performance of 4×4 optical crossbar switch utilising acousto-optic deflector

Abstract
A multicasting photonic space switch reconfigurable in 50 ns is demonstrated utilising commercially available acoustooptic Bragg cells at λ = 0.83 µm. Insertion loss of 15 dB, extinction ratio of 33 dB, crosstalk of −24 dB and polarisation difference of 0.8 dB are reported.
