Abstract

A new type of buffering module is introduced, suitable for incorporation into optical switch fabrics handling ATM cells. It comprises 2 × 2 optical switches and optical delay lines, and is equivalent to two interlinked buffers. Performance is characterised in terms of attenuation, crosstalk and cell loss.
