This document presents the design, fabrication, characterization and packaging of a stand-alone all-photonic 1X4 switch. All of the designs pertaining to the implementation of the device including those of required custom components are given. The core of the switch is comprised of a "2-bit" electro-optic deflector capable of sub-microsecond deflection times. The packaged switch operates at 1100V and boasts a worst-case fiber-to-fiber insertion loss and crosstalk reading of 5.3dB and -23dB, respectively. Furthermore, a worst-case deflection time of 86ns has been achieved.
