Abstract

A prototype digital free-space photonic switching fabric is demonstrated. It consists of three cascaded 16 x 8 arrays of symmetric self-electro-optic-effect devices that are used as logic gates that implement part of a multistage interconnection network. We discuss architecture, device tolerancing, optical system design, and optomechanical design. This optical circuit is successfully configured as a fully operational array of 32 independent 2 x 2 nodes and operates at 100 kHz.

摘要

展示了一种原型数字自由空间光子交换结构。它由三个级联的16×8对称自电光效应器件阵列组成，这些器件用作实现多级互连网络一部分的逻辑门。我们讨论了架构、器件容差、光学系统设计和光机械设计。这个光学电路成功配置为一个由32个独立2×2节点组成的全功能阵列，并以100千赫兹运行。
