Abstract—This paper presents the experimental results of the switching performances of the fast reconfigurable optical cross-point switch (OXS) matrix. This paper demonstrates unicast opti-cal packet switching for a 10-Gb/s payload at various modulation formats. Abstract We fabricate a polarization-independent electro-optic Silicon-Photonic circuit that monolithi-cally integrates Mach–Zehnder interferometer switches and filters for creating a fast and high-port-count optical switch. Design integrity of the switch is verified by 3,712 × 3,712 switch. ources to increase utilization while reducing costs is critical. However, just using traditional layer 2/3 infrastructure to interconnect equipment test beds adds complexity, is prohibitively expensive, and equipment needs to be upgraded every time trafic speeds or formats change. We detail the design, manufacture, deploy-ment, and end-to-end operation of a 128-port optical rotor switch along with supporting NIC hardware and host.
