“…For long haul networks, dense photonic integration may be favorable for reducing cost over current switching technologies by taking advantage of large-scale integration utilizing silicon-based manufacturing [15]. Unfortunately, the EO effect in silicon is relatively low and therefore a polymer with high EO coefficient may be embedded in the MZ configuration arms to reduce the required applied voltage (i.e., reduces the V π L parameter) [16,17].…”

This paper proposes a compact, plasmonic-based 4 × 4 nonblocking switch for optical networks. This device uses six 2 × 2 plasmonic Mach-Zehnder switch (MZS), whose arm waveguide is supported by a JRD1 polymer layer as a high electro-optic coefficient material. The 4 × 4 switch is designed in COMSOL environment for 1550 nm wavelength operation. The performance of the proposed switch outperforms those of conventional (nonplasmonic) counterparts. The designed switch yields a compact structure ( 500 × 70 µ m 2 ) having V π L = 12 V · µ m , 1.5 THz optical bandwidth, 7.7 dB insertion loss, and −26.5 dB crosstalk. The capability of the switch to route 8 × 40 Gbps WDM signal is demonstrated successfully.
