            Abstract : 
In this paper, we introduce the model of switch gate based on SOA and a simple theory for the bit error rate (BER) in optical switching networks caused by the crosstalk. The BER has relation with the parameters of SOA in the switch matrix, the shape of signal pulse and the control pulse energy.
