Abstract
A 1 x 8 switched transmitter module has been constructed using a co-pa ckaged silicon bipolar IC and a silicon V-groove laser array carrier. This high functionality module is an attractive building block for opt ical space switching in very high capacity ATM switches. It has been s hown to operate at 8Gbit/s with a reconfiguration time of similar to 5 ns.
