Abstract

Introduction: Photonic switch blocks in all-optical networks will need space switches. Contrary to many other types of gates and switches, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) are attractive as gates since they feature the high on-off ratios of 40-50 dB that are needed to overcome the severe penalty induced by crosstalk [1].
