Automatic Per-Packet Dynamic Power Equalization in a 4 X 4 Active Coupler-Based Optical Crosspoint Packet Switch Matrix

摘要

Dynamic per-packet output power equalization is demonstrated in a 4 X 4 active vertical coupler-based optical crosspoint packet switch, achieving response time of < 100 ns and output power levels within +-0.3 dB for input dynamic range of 5 dB between consecutive optical packets.
