61 Port 1×6 Selector Switch for Data Center Networks
William Maxwell Mellette, Glenn M. Schuster, George Porter, Joseph E. Ford · Optical Fiber Communication Conference · 2016
We present design and preliminary characterization of a scalable MEMS-based “selector switch” for high performance computing networks. The 170 μs, 61-port prototype uses relay image steering to route all 61 SMF channels through one of six pre-structured interconnects.
