Abstract
The authors report the first ever fully packaged practical 2 x 2 InGaA lAs/InAlAs MQW waveguide switch modules integrated with newly proposed efficient spotsize convertors. The connector-to-connector insertion l oss and crosstalk of switch modules are 16 and -15 dB, respectively. T he spotsize conversion loss, including coupling loss to arrayed polari sation-maintaining (PANDA) singlemode fibres (SMFs) is, on average, 2. 3 dB per port.
