ALL-OPTICAL SWITCHING NETWORK APPARATUS FOR WAVELENGTH-SPACE-TIME OPTICAL SWITCHING AND METHOD FOR ALL-OPTICAL SWITCHING NETWORK

摘要

Disclosed are an all-optical switching network apparatus for wavelength-space-time optical switching and a method for an all-optical switching network. An all-optical switching network apparatus for wavelength-space-time optical switching according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a plurality of Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches which transmit packets to all-optical switching fabric or receive packets from the all-optical switching fabric; and the all-optical switching fabric in which Arrayed Waveguide Grating Routers (AWGRs), each adapted to perform all-optical switching on an optical packet received from a source-side ToR switch and to transmit an optical packet on which the all-optical switching has been performed to a destination-side ToR switch, are disposed in a space in the form of a number of arrays.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2017
