Abstract
An array of 2 x 2 switches with integrated tapers has been pigtailed u sing a silicon submount to self-align both chip and single-mode fibers . Electrical contacts were wirebonded through an opening etched in the submount. We report fiber-to-fiber insertion loss below 10 dB and mea surements of wavelength and temperature dependence of the module.
