An Experimental Synchronized Optical Network Using a High-Speed Time-Multiplexed Ti:LiNbO sub 3 Switch.
28 July 1988
We describe a bit-synchronized optical network in which full connectivity is provided by a time-multiplexed Ti:LiNbO sub 3 switch. Experimental results for a four terminal network with aggregate switch throughput of 16 Gb/s and reconfiguration time of 250 ps are presented.
