ABSTRACT:
The tremendous growth of digital communications and the rapid rise of all-optical networks require flexible and reliable means of network management. Optical switches are key components in such a network which provide a flexible platform for data traffic routing. They also improve network survivability under faults. MEMS-based optical switches, incorporating a new promising optical switch technology, have been getting increased attention recently. In this paper, we propose a new rearrangeable non-blocking architecture for 2D MEMS optical space switches. A simple routing/mirror control algorithm is given to guarantee the new architecture to be rearrangeable non-blocking in nature. By comparing with the lower bound obtained for the number of micro-mirrors in a general rearrangeable non-blocking 2D MEMS switches, the proposed architecture is found to be an optimal one.
