Analysis of Optical Switching Architecture
Alganga, Mohamed
The optical networks need to carry out all the switching and routing in optical domain to avoid the bottleneck imposed by the optoelectronic conversions. Optical switching is an essential element in the optical networks, in particular, the switches architecture. The crossbar switch architecture is presented as proposed switch architecture based on symmetric Mach-Zehnder (SMZ) interferometer configuration as switching elements(SEs). The numeric...
