Fig. 5: Measurements of the 8-channel full switching sequence.

a Time-resolved measurements of all 8 optical outputs during a full switching sequence with a base frequency of 11.3 MHz for three full periods. Charged-coupled device (CCD) capture times for the imaging experiment in (d) are also labeled, depicting the small integration region defined by the camera shutter. b Plots of the sinusoidal driving inputs to the all seven Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). c Table of driving parameters, including voltage amplitude \({V}_{0}\) and phase \({\phi }_{{{{{{\rm{s}}}}}}}\,\). The driving phase term compensates for the variation in each cantilever’s phase response. d CCD images captured at various times t as labeled in (a). Each image integrates the output from all 8 optical channels for 4.8 ns and illustrates an unnormalized snapshot of the output at different temporal offsets in the total switching sequence.
