We review our work on optical switching architectures that allow for scaling to a large
number (thousands) of ports. We explain that the complexity of the node control critically …

Although optical-fiber waveguides can transport information at rates of several terabits per
second (Tbps), this raw bandwidth cannot be easily harnessed, because digital electronic …

A novel photonic network, MATRIX (for multi-wavelength all-optical transparent information
exchange), is proposed in this paper. The all-optical multihop network supports wavelength …

A terabit/second hierarchically multiplexing photonic asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)
switch network architecture, called Terahipas, is proposed. It combines the advantages of …

Optical networks, employing Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) and wavelength
routing, are believed to be the answer for the explosion in IP traffic and the emergence of …

Within the multihop architecture, each network node is equipped with some small number of
transmitters and receivers, each of which can communicate on one wavelength. Transmitters …

This paper analytically and experimentally examines node architectures for wavelength-
routing networks, with emphasis on the degree of wavelength conversion provided …

We propose a novel photonic node architecture that is composed of interconnected small-
scale optical cross-connect subsystems. We also developed an efficient dynamic network …
