摘要: This invention relates to an optical cross-connect switch which is substantially loss-less and transparent signal bit rate, format modulation scheme. The can be comprised of at least two stages chips coupled in tandem via fibers. Each chip lithium niobate having a plurality digital elements or directional couplers which, by means electric field, selectively energy from one waveguide another. are together fiber amplifiers the pumped pumps, e.g., 1.48 μm CW, laser appropriate nodes within either both chips. In operation, pump switched through along with data signals only those path.
