Abstract

A cascadable binary optical routing switch with improved switching performance has been demonstrated by integrating vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with heterojunction bipolar transistors and pin photodiodes. The reconfigurable routing of optical signals, and their conversion between electrical and optical formats, have been achieved at high speed (400-500 Mbit/s), and with an optical gain of 7.5 dB.
