Abstract
A possible way to design photonic switch matrices is by interconnecting multiple 2×2 switches based on semiconductor optical amplifier gates. The size of these matrices is limited by many phenomena including phase noise from the gates. The authors examine the limitations imposed by this noise in a system using DPSK direct detection
