Abstract

Higher data throughput in optical packet switched interconnection networks can be achieved by minimizing the guard times through faster transition of the switching element. A hybrid integration of a semiconductor optical amplifier with its current driver is presented, which exhibits over 40% faster transition time compared to current commercial devices.
