Partially configurable optical switching for data center networks
We investigate partially configurable optical circuit switches as a means to circumvent the physical and control layer scaling challenges of optical crossbar switches. We present the optical design and characterization of a prototype partially configurable switch as well as network architectures whi...

Summary: | We investigate partially configurable optical circuit switches as a means to circumvent the physical and control layer scaling challenges of optical crossbar switches. We present the optical design and characterization of a prototype partially configurable switch as well as network architectures which employ these switches. |
