Highlights:

  • Demonstrates a monolithically-integrated InP switch supporting an 8×8 broadcast & select topology in the C-band.
  • Achieves polarization‐independent operation (PDG < 2 dB) and error-free performance with < 0.2 dB power-penalty at 30 Gb/s.
  • Promotes ultra-high-density optical switching for future flexible and high-capacity networks.
