.Design and fabrication of sub-μs silicon-on-insulator thermo-optic 4×4 switch matrix[J].Optoelectronics Letters,2007,3(4): Design and fabrication of sub-μs silicon-on-insulator thermo-optic 4×4 switch matrix Abstract:       A rearrangeable nonblocking silicon-on-insulator-based thermo-optic 4×4 switch matrix with spot size converters (SSCs) and a new driving circuit are designed and fabricated. The introduction of a spot size converter (SSC) has decreased the insertion loss to less than 10dB and the new driving circuit has improved the response speed to less than 1μs.
