Summary:An L-dimensional optoelectronic switch for transferring an optical signal from an input device to an output device, the optoelectronic switch includes: a plurality of leaf switches, each having a radix R, and arranged in an L-dimensional array, in which each dimension i has a respective size Ri(i = l, 2,..., L), each leaf switch having an associated L-tuple of co-ordinates x1,..., xL ) giving itslocation with respect to each of the L dimensions; wherein each leaf switch is a member of L sub-arrays, each of the L sub-arrays associated with a different one of the L dimensions, and including: aplurality of Ri leaf switches, whose co-ordinates differ only in respect of the i-th dimension, each leaf switch having C client ports for connecting to an input device or an output device, and F fabric ports for connecting to spine switches; a plurality of Si spine switches, each having R fabric ports for connecting to the fabric ports of the leaf switches, and wherein, in a given sub-array eachleaf switch in the sub-arra
