Optical Crossbar Networks
TL;DR: An important part of a parallel processing system is the interconnection needed for the transfer of information among processors, and between processors and memories; therefore, the network should be capable of providing fast parallel access to data.

Fiber-Optic Crossbar Switch With Broadcast Capability
TL;DR: In this article, an all-optical fiber-optic crossbar switch capable of interconnecting N input fibers to M output fibers with an arbitrary interconnect pattern has been constructed, which can use any 1-D or 2-D spatial light modulator capable of realizing N X M pixels and can be configured for permutations, full or partial broadcast, or wired-oring of several inputs to a given output.

4 × 4 optical-gate matrix switch
A. Himeno,M. Kobayashi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an optical gate-based matrix switch is proposed and a switching function in a 4 × 4 experimental switch is demonstrated, which is composed of fiber-type splitters, a lantham-modified lead zirconate-titanate solid solution (PLZT) optical-gate array, and fiber type combiners.
