摘要: An architecture for a fiber optic communication system that uses only two levels of switches, Tier 1 and 3, is described. The allows one to omit the conventional Top Rack switch level 2 while maintaining performance throughput. cost construct install improved lower than architecture. There are also described number transceivers suitable use in disclosed. employ silicon PIC chips include high contrast waveguides ion chip connect various configurations optical fibers. provide enhanced switching capacity with fewer devices.
