| 摘要 |
In the present invention, an optical transmission device has a plurality of optical transmitters, a plurality of optical receptors and a plurality of optical paths for connecting each of the optical transmitters and optical receptors. The optical paths are formed by large-scale optical switches equipped with a plurality of input and output ports; small-scale optical switches with a fewer number of ports than the number of ports on the large-scale switches are connected between the optical transmitters and the input ports of the large-scale optical switches; and small-scale optical switches with a fewer number of ports than the number of ports on the large-scale switches are connected between the output ports of the large-scale optical switches and the optical receptors. By using this optical transmission device, an information processing device that uses optical switches and that achieves both large scale and increased use efficiency due to high-speed switching is realized. |
