Abstract :
A fully broadcasting 128×128 cross-connect with an all-optical switching fabric has been designed and a managed, rack-mounted prototype based on commercially available technologies has been developed for testing. System architecture and experimental results are reported, and 512×512 feasibility is demonstrated.
