Wide-sense nonblocking Banyan-type switching systems based on directional couplers.

Wide-sense nonblocking Banyan-type switching systems based on directional couplers.

Directional couplers are capable of switching signals with multiple wavelengths. They are the ideal technology for building light-path switches to configure wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission facilities. This technology, however, has a major constraint: crosstalk. Design of a strict...
