It consists of cascaded cyclic arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs). We develop a 270 × 270 prototype switch consisting of an assembly of arrayed small switches and couplers and AWGs that are fabricated on planar lightwave circuit chips. Transmission experiments verify its technical feasibility.}, pages = {2027--2030}, title = {Large Port Count Wavelength Routing Optical Switch Consisting of Cascaded Small-Size Cyclic Arrayed Waveguide Gratings}, volume = {24}, year = {2012} }
