“…The constraints imposed in SOA gate based networks lead to a preference for smaller numbers of stages (Williams et al, 2008;White et al, 2009). Simulations are presented to www.intechopen.com provide insight into the scalability of multi-stage photonic networks.…”

“…Noting that the electrode numbers scale poorly with increasing numbers of connections, we simplify the electronic implementation. Increased overall connectivity is therefore practicable in such multi-stage interconnection networks with additional numbers of switching cells [1]. Figure 2(ii) shows the concept for simplified electronic wiring.…”

This represents both the leading edge in monolithic switching circuit complexity and the highest reported line rates through monolithically cascaded switching networks. Bit error rate studies are performed to show only modest levels of signal degradation. Power penalties of order 0.6dB and 1.2dB are observed for two stages and four stages respectively in the monolithic circuits at 160Gb/s per path.

“…A pressing need for low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnection between high numbers of servers and communications channels has lead to renewed interest in high-connectivity, high-speed photonic circuits [1]. Tens of connections are required for emerging applications in server networks, with a future need for several hundreds in communications and high performance computing.…”
