A photonic switching fabric is described which includes an interconnection network made-up of electro-optic switches. The main characteristics both of the whole interconnection network and of the components are summarized. An electronic processor is designed in order to exploit the self-routing behavior of the network. Finally, the timing problem is considered and the delay performance is evaluated.

Abstract
A photonic switching fabric is described which includes an interconnection network made-up of electro-optic switches. The main characteristics both of the whole interconnection network and of the components are summarized. An electronic processor is designed in order to exploit the self-routing behavior of the network. Finally, the timing problem is considered and the delay performance is evaluated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
