Abstract:
In this paper, a control algorithm is proposed for a 2x3 nonblocking photonic switch. The switch is a space division multistage network using 2x2 optical switching elements which can serve as basic element for larger size networks. The idea behind the proposed algorithm is presented. The wide-sense nonblocking property of the switch under this control algorithm is tested and discussed. The results indicate that the algorithm is capable to maintain the wide-sense nonblocking property for all possible switch configurations.
