Abstract

The need for optical switching of data is becoming more apparent as fiber optical transmission is being used for telecommunication systems. Many groups have reported optical switching in semiconductor based devices, using either electro-optic effects[l] or optical amplifier gates[2]. Recently it has been shown, that by using an amplifier-based switching array, coupling losses can be recovered in addition to exhibiting high extinction ratios[3]. In this paper, we present the integration of a compact amplifier-based optical switch with distributed Bragg reflector lasers. This allows light from an integrated laser source to be spatially switched to one of two output ports.
