Experimental demonstration of 8×8 10 Gb/s low-latency and contention-less wavelength routing optical switch for data center networks

Abstract

We report on an eight-node 10 Gb/s experimental test-bed for data center networking. Preliminary experimental results show that by using optical wavelength switching routing, this system can support high-capacity, low-latency and contention-less error-free communication between the eight nodes.
