… by photonics, the high power of electrical components inside the switch becomes a problem
beyond radix 64. We propose an optical switch architecture that exploits highspeed optical …

… We demonstrate an optical switch design that can scale up to a thousand ports with high
per-port bandwidth (25 Gbps+) and low switching latency (40ns). Our design uses a broadcast …

… As we further increase the radix, this level of … for optics because of the optical transceivers’
high static thermal tuning power. When designing the optical switch, we share the optical inter…

… In this section, we present the architecture design of the proposed HERO Pbit switch. After
overviewing the switch architecture, we first focus on its data plane, ie, optical switch fabric, …
