Robust Large-Port-Count Hybrid Switches with Relaxed Control Tolerances
Qixiang Cheng, A. Wonfor, Richard V. Penty, Ian H. White · 2015
The control tolerances of large-port-count optical switches with up to 128×128 ports using the MZI-SOA hybrid design are investigated. The first quantitative analysis is presented showing tolerant control requirements of the hybrid switch design.
