All-Optical Switches in Optical Time-Division Multiplexing Technology: Theory, Experience and Application

摘要

Optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) is one of the promising ways for he future high-speed optical fiber communication networks. All-optical switch is, being one of the core technologies of OT- DM systems and networks, crucial to realize the Various signal processes including time-division de- Multiplexing, packet switching, all-optical regener- Ating and so on.
