Design of photonic rearrangeable networks with zero first-order switching-element-crosstalk.

Design of photonic rearrangeable networks with zero first-order switching-element-crosstalk.

The development of optical cross-connect architectures is a very important topic today. We consider here in particular the class of optical space-division switching fabrics configured as multistage structures built with 2×2 optical switching elements (SEs) and derived from a combination of vertical...
