SUPER-CHANNEL MULTIPLEXING AND DE-MULTIPLEXING USING A PHASED ARRAY SWITCHING ENGINE |
| 摘要 |
A method may include receiving, by a switching engine, an optical signal. The optical signal may carry a super-channel that includes a plurality of sub-carriers to be directed toward respective output ports. The switching engine may have a plurality of regions of pixels on which respective sub-carriers, of the plurality of sub-carriers, are incident. The method may include applying, by the switching engine, respective single beam steering gratings to first, overlapping, areas of the plurality of regions of pixels. The method may include applying, by the switching engine, one or more respective pluralities of beam steering gratings to second, overlapping areas of the plurality of regions of pixels. The method may include directing, based on the single beam steering gratings and the one or more pluralities of beam steering gratings, parts of the optical signal toward the respective output ports. |

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a switching engine, an optical signal,
the optical signal carrying a super-channel that includes a plurality of sub-carriers to be directed toward respective output ports, andthe switching engine having a plurality of regions of pixels on which respective sub-carriers, of the plurality of sub-carriers, are incident,
the plurality of regions of pixels including first areas that do not include overlap between any two regions of pixels, of the plurality of regions of pixels, andthe plurality of regions of pixels including one or more second areas that include overlap between regions of pixels of the plurality of regions of pixels; applying, by the switching engine, respective single beam steering gratings to the first areas; applying, by the switching engine, one or more respective pluralities of beam steering gratings to the one or more second areas; and directing, based on the single beam steering gratings and the one or more pluralities of beam steering gratings, parts of the optical signal toward the respective output ports. |
