  • Abstract
    High-speed and high port-count optical switches are very attractive for optical interconnecting applications in high-performance computing systems. To make such optical switches practical, however, the reduction of both switch-size and power consumption is essential. This presentation discusses the optical interconnect architecture with monolithically-integrated SOA gate switch devices and compact packaging technology by novel module assembly.
