title: All-optical compact silicon comb switch.
abstract: We demonstrate a 1x2 all-optical comb switch using a 200 mum diameter silicon ring resonator with a switching time of less than 1 ns. The switch overcomes the small bandwidth of the traditional ring resonator, and works for wavelength division multiplexing applications. The device has a footprint of ~0.04 mm(2) and enables switching of a large number (~40) of wavelength channels spaced by ~0.85 nm.
