S-SEED-Based Photonic Switching Network Demonstration,

Abstract

A prototype digital free-space photonic switching fabric has been demonstrated. It consists of three cascaded 16x8 arrays of Symmetric Self Electro-optic Effect Devices used as logic gates that implement part of a multistage interconnection network. We discuss the architecture, device tolerancing, optical system design, and optomechanical design. This optical circuit was successfully configured as a fully operational array of 32 independent 2x2 nodes and operated at lOO kHz.
