M $\times$ N Wavelength Selective Switches Using Beam Splitting By Space Light Modulators

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2016
We propose a multiple-input-multiple-output (M $\times$ N) optical switch with the same optical system as that used for a single-input-multiple-output (1 $\times$ N) switch based on a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS).

Comparing Optical Packet Switching And Optical Burst Switching

open access: yesDaffodil International University Journal of Science and Technology, 1970
The switching is an important part of the telecommunication networks over the years for transferring and handling voice and data through the traditional switching nodes existing in the telecommunication networks. Various developments were seen in the recent years which resulted in increasing data transfer capabilities of the transmission networks all ...

Large-Scale and Simple-Configuration Optical Switch Enabled by Asymmetric-Port-Count Subswitches

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2016
We propose a novel optical switch architecture for intra-datacenter interconnection. The proposed switch consists of asymmetric-port-count delivery-and-coupling (DC) switches and wavelength-routing (WR) switches based on arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs).

Optical router for optical fiber sensor networks based on a liquid crystal cell [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Optical fiber sensor networks are evolving rapidly. They are used because of the inert nature of optical fibers allowing no electromagnetic interference and safe applications in inflammable atmospheres; other relevant characteristics are their low ...

Multi-Granular Optical Cross-Connect: Design, Analysis, and Demonstration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A fundamental issue in all-optical switching is to offer efficient and cost-effective transport services for a wide range of bandwidth granularities. This paper presents multi-granular optical cross-connect (MG-OXC) architectures that combine slow (ms ...

Chirality in Nonlinear Optics and Optical Switching [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 1993
Chirality in molecular opto-electronics is limited sofar to the use of optically active liquid crystals and a number of optical phenomena are related to the helical macroscopic structure obtained by using one enantiomer, only. In this paper, the use of chirality in nonlinear optics and optical switching is demonstrated.

Silicon Non-Blocking 4 × 4 Optical Switch Chip Integrated With Both Thermal and Electro-Optic Tuners

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2019
We experimentally demonstrate an integrated strictly non-blocking silicon 4 × 4 optical switch chip that can be operated in both thermo-optic (TO) and electro-optic (EO) switching modes.
