  • Abstract
    Cascading of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based switching nodes has been studied experimentally in a re-circulating loop test-bed of the data vortex packet interconnection network. The experimental results show that the signal bit-error-rates can still exceed 10-9 after 72 node hops, demonstrating the physical layer scalability of the data vortex network.
