Abstract:
We demonstrate all-optical spatial multicasting enabled by nanophotonic devices in two cascaded silicon chips. We evaluate each spatially-multicasted signal using 10-Gb/s BER measurements, facilitating the path towards fully-monolithic photonic integrated circuits performing complex network-level functionalities.
