We introduce a passive wavelength routing matrix based on microring resonators for optical packet switching architectures. We assess its technological feasibility and physical scalability which is limited by the coherent crosstalk accumulation.
Array waveguide grating (AWG)-based optical switching fabrics are receiving increasing attention due to their simplicity and good performance. However, AWGs are affected by coherent crosstalk that can significantly impair system operation when the same wavelength is used simultaneously on several input ports. To permit large port counts in a N × N AWG, a possible solution is to schedule...
Optical switching fabrics are gaining interest as in multi Terabit switching devices; the advantages over their electronic equivalents are mainly their information density and power consumption. Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWGs) are promising optical devices proposed by the academic and industrial community to build optical switching fabrics. Because of their wavelength routing property, AWGs allow...
AWG-based optical switching fabrics are affected by coherent crosstalk, that can significantly impair system operation when the same wavelength is used simultaneously on several input ports to forward data to output ports. To permit large port counts in a N x N AWG, the scheduling of transmissions across the AWG must therefore prevent switch configurations that generate large crosstalk. We study the...
