Optical switches replace optical transceivers

Optical Switching Data Center Networks: Understanding Techniques

AbstractIntroductionOptical Data Center Networks2.1 Optical Switching Technologies2.3 Optical Data Center Network: State-of-art2.4 Technical ChallengesConclusionOptical switching, as a future-proof solution to overcome the bandwidth bottleneck of electrical switches, has attracted the widespread attention to researchers. Due to the optical transparency, switching the data in the optical domain is independent of the bit-rate and data-format of the traffic. Thus, optical switching supports much higher bandwi...See more on arxiv
