An optical switching system is provided in which input channels carrying packetized data are switched sequentially at a high bit rate to output channels through an optical switching network. The packets or an input channel are time compressed, and a suitable timing converted into optical signals and applied to an optical switching network to be switched to the desired output channel, in which they are reconverted into electrical signals and expanded to their original duration. A central processor controls channel switching through the switching network by means of a driving circuit. |
