Abstract A four input-port and an eight output-port optoelectronic matrix switch using InGaAsP/InP hetero-junction switching photodiodes was fabricated and its characteristics studied. The characteristics of the broadband switching equipment, as well as those of individual components, such as the switching photodiodes, InGaAsP/InP semiconductor lasers, eight-port optical dividers and receiver circuits, are discussed from the viewpoint of analogue signal switching. The signal-to-noise ratio attained is more than 40dB for a 30MHz bandwidth television signal. Differential gain and differential phase are less than 2% and 2°, respectively, isolation is higher than 80 dB. Crosstalk between adjacent channels is suppressed below-60 dB over the band between d.c. and 100 MHz by a simple metallic shield at the input and output electric circuits.
