Research on AWG-based large-scale optical switching systems
Optical switching system is the core part of the wavelength routing and central data transmission in the optical network
which is currently developing towards high-rate
multiport and high-capacity optical switching.This paper explains that the router technology of Arrayed Waveguide Grating(AWG)combined with high-rate tunable lasers is the most effective scheme for realizing ns-grade switching time in a large-scale optical switching system.Furthermore
it describes schemes with different architectures of AWGR in four aspects
