ALL-OPTICAL SWITCHING FOR 100-GB/S AND BEYOND OPTICAL NETWORKS

摘要：

　　With the drastically increasing traffic in optical backbone and metro networks,ultrahigh-capacity and cost-effective all-optical switching is anticipated.All-optical switching nodes based on 1×N wavelength selective switches(WSSs)are widely used in current optical networks.However,the existing architecture of multi-dimensional switching node based on 1×N WSSs is very complicated and costly.In this paper,we propose an N×N WSS architecture to tackle this problem,and address its optical design and application.Furthermore,we propose to introduce sub-wavelength-level all-optical switching technology into a network node or even the whole network,and demonstrate a petabit-scale switching node and a 100-Gb/s optical burst network,respectively.
