Demonstration of Cascaded Operation of Active-Passive Integrated 4×4 SOA Switches with On-Chip Monitoring for Power Control and Energy Consumption Optimization
K. Wang, A. Wonfor, Richard V. Penty, Ian H. White · 2013
Cascaded 4×4 SOA switches with on-chip power monitoring exhibit potential for low-power 16×16 integrated switches. Cascaded operation at 10Gbit/s with an IPDR of 8.5dB and 79% lower power consumption than equivalent all-active switches is reported
