Abstract
A monolithic 4×4 wavelength-selective cross-connect (chip area = 3.2×4.6 cm 2 ) is realized by integrating four 4×1 MEMS wavelength-selective switches and four 1×4 passive splitters, together with a 4×4 waveguide shuffle network on a silicon-on-insulator. Wavelength-selective routing has been successfully demonstrated. © 2006 Optical Society of America.
