Abstract

In this paper we present the design, fabrication and characterization of a highly integrated optical 4~4 crossbar based on microring resonator add-drop filters. The designed crossbar structure, as small as 50ƒÊm~50ƒÊm, has been fabricated in CMOS compatible silicon on insulator (SOI) technology. Finally, experimental results proving the proper operation of the fabricated crossbar structures are discussed.
