The world's first InP 8×8 monolithic tunable optical router (MOTOR) operating at 40 Gbps line rate per port

We demonstrate the first InP monolithic tunable optical router with error-free 40 Gbps operation per port. The device has eight wavelength converters and an 8 times 8 arrayed-waveguide grating router, yielding more than 200 on-chip functional elements.
