Abstract
We report a comprehensive crosstalk investigation of a packaged 4 x 4 semiconductor optical amplifier gate switch matrix, experimentally as well as theoretically, For a fully loaded switch with the same wavelen gth on all four inputs, all possible switching combinations are analyz ed, thus yielding realistic crosstalk figures, Coherent and incoherent crosstalk phenomena are identified, and a switch crosstalk less than -40 dB has been measured.
