Abstract

This paper describes large-capacity photonic ATM switching systems being developed that use FDM (or WDM) techniques. Our system is based on a simple star architecture with a modular structure. We show that it is possible to obtain a 320-Gb/s system that has enough S/N margin and can tolerate the polarization and frequency dependencies of optical devices. Our experiments using rack-mounted prototype modules to demonstrate the feasibility of our system, as well as successful 10-Gb/s 4×4 broadcast-and-select and 2.5-Gb/s 16×16 frequency-routing switch operations
