In this paper we describe details and applications of an emerging U. domestic foundry offering for a monolithic silicon photonics platform based on a multi-micron silicon photonic platform which is well suited for defense applications. Thus, this review article mainly focuses on the principle and state of the art of 2 × 2 silicon photonic switches, including electro-optic switches, thermo-optic switches, and nonvolatile silicon photonic switches assisted by phase-change materials. Introduction Today, the Internet of everything. Teledyne Relays has been the world's innovative leader in manufacturing ultraminiature, hermetically sealed, electromechanical and solid-state switching products for more than 50 years. The company's comprehensive product line meets a wide range of requirements for defense and aerospace. Abstract—Photonic switching technologies show potential for transforming communication networks across diverse markets from long-haul to short-reach distance scales due to their large bandwidth density, high energy efficiency, and potential for low cost. In recent years, numerous outstanding. Comments, suggestions, or questions on this document should be addressed to (Defense Supply Center, Columbus, ATTN: DSCC-VSC, P.
