Advanced Photonic Switch (APS)
Program Manager: Dr. Jagdeep Shah
The objective of the APS program is to develop advanced, on-chip, photonic switching devices which are fabricated in a CMOS-compatible process and which maximize switching speed while simultaneously minimize device power dissipation, transmission losses, area, and sensitivity to ambient temperature variations. The photonic switches developed in this program will be spectrally broad-band, capable of simultaneously switching multiple, high bit-rate wavelength channels, temperature-insensitive and scalable to complex, MxN port switches.
