We report on 4x20 silicon photonic MEMS switch that is capable of multicasting. The switch is built on passive optical crossbar network with gap-adjustable directional couplers. The switch has high on-off extinction ratio (59 dB), low insertion loss (< 4.0 dB), small footprint (1.2x4.5 mm2), and fast response (9.8 µs). The switching voltage is 9.6 V and 20 dB bandwidth is 31.5 nm. One-to-two and one-to-four multicast operations are demonstrated.
