  • Abstract
    All-optical multi-layer switching architectures are analysed by means of the average distance, the maximum distance and the diameter of their intersection graphs (IGs) and by the grid size of a 3-D network of directional couplers (DCs). The basic multi-layer switch, called the M×N-gon prism switch (M-1 prisms are embedded), is improved by increasing the connectivity between the prisms towards a complexity-O(1)-switch
