“…Although an optical switch using LC-based SLMs, i.e., an LCoS device, has been conventionally considered unsuitable for an OPS architecture due to its slow switching speed, the works presented in [22] demonstrated that the slow response time of an LC-based SLM can be compensated through the node architecture design with an appropriate switching mechanism, i.e., label switching. This makes the LCoS SLM more attractive in a modern node architecture design since, compared with MEMS technology, the functionality of its multilevel phase modulation can be used to route the light path in a more efficiently approach.…”

A non-blocking optical Ethernet switching architecture with liquid crystal on a silicon-based beam-steering switch and optical output buffer strategies are proposed. For preserving service packet sequencing and fairness of routing sequence, priority and round-robin algorithms are adopted at the optical output buffer in this research. Four methods were used to implement tunable fiber delay modules for the optical output buffers to handle Ethernet packets with variable bit-rates. The results reported are based on the simulations performed to evaluate the proposed switching architecture with traffic analysis under a traffic model captured from a real-core network.
