Summary:
We propose a 2x2 photonic switch that uses the multimode interference effect (MMI) and analyze its properties by the finite difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM). We then consider the characteristics of several well-known matrix switch architectures based on our proposed 2x2 switches.
