Abstract

Photonic switching nodes based on self electro-optic devices are described. These nodes are proposed for use in extended generalized shuffle networks with free space digital optical interconnections between nodes. Several experiments are described demonstrating both individual switching nodes and arrays of switching nodes operating concurrently. Node complexity, optical system complexity, and tolerance issues associated with different types of nodes are also discussed.
