Switching Ultrahigh Line-rate Optical Data in a Monolithic Multistage Interconnection Network
نویسنده
چکیده
A monolithic multistage interconnection network with minimum two and maximum four stages of cascaded crossbar switches is designed, fabricated and demonstrated. Record ultrahigh data line-rates of 160Gb/s are dynamically switched between paths exploiting the high 43.4dB extinction ratio and optical signal to noise ratio of 41.7dB/0.1nm. KeywordsMonolithic Integration; Optoelectonic Switching

Cascaded Optical Delay Line Architectures in the Performance of Optical MIN
Internally buffered multistage interconnection network (MIN) architectures have been widely used in parallel computer systems and large switching fabrics. Migration from electrical domain to optical domain has raised the necessity of developing node architectures with optical buffers. Cascaded optical delay line (COD) emulates output buffering in a 2x2 switching element. Two versions of COD are...

Internally buffered multistage interconnection network architectures have been widely used in parallel computer systems and large switching fabrics. Migration from electrical domain to optical domain has raised the necessity of developing node architectures with optical buffers. Cascaded fibre delay line architectures can be seen as possible realizations of output and shared buffering in a 2 2-...
متن کاملAll-optical stage of an omega network.
All-optical multistage interconnection networks are desirable for overcoming the limitations of optical signal regeneration in switching systems. We present a new implementation of the perfect-shuffle interconnection pattern that is coupled with an all-optical switching element, forming a complete stage of a multistage network. Switching is performed with birefringent calcite crystals and a fer...
متن کاملAn analysis of cross avoidance techniques in optical multistage interconnection networks
It is expected that users of telecommunication services such as Internet, Web browsing, and tele-education will increase dramatically. This has greatly increased the demand for high bandwidth and high capacity communication systems. Advances in electro-optic technologies have made optical communication a good networking choice for the increasing demands of high channel bandwidth and low communi...
متن کاملHighly efficient interconnection for use with a multistage optical switching network with orthogonally polarized data and address information.
A novel optical interconnection is introduced for a multistage optical switching network that uses orthogonally polarized data and address information. The network is unique in that the data information is never regenerated and remains in optical form throughout (i.e., it is never converted into electrical information). This has two main consequences: (1) the bandwidth of the data is not restri...
