Partially Configurable Optical Switching for Data Center Networks Invited
01:30-02:00
2017-10-02 01:30 2017-10-02 02:00 America/Denver Partially Configurable Optical Switching for Data Center Networks We investigate partially configurable optical circuit switches as a means to circumvent the physical and control layer scaling challenges of optical crossbar switches. We present the optical design and characterization of a prototype partially configurable switch as well as network architectures which employ these switches. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Salon VII

Hybrid Optical Routing Switches for Datacenter Applications Invited
02:30-03:00
2017-10-02 02:30 2017-10-02 03:00 America/Denver Hybrid Optical Routing Switches for Datacenter Applications In response to the rapid growth in the capacity of datacenters, research has focussed on high port count optical routers which can be rapidly reconfigured. This paper will review progress on hybrid SOA-MZI switch architectures which have benefits in system margin, scalability and power consumption. Hilton Santa Fe Historic Plaza Salon VII
