Fujitsu Laboratories has unveiled a new optical switch technology that it claims uses half the power of conventional optical switches. The new optical waveguide switch uses photonics made from silicon ...

popular method for building terabit switches is to use parallel switch elements with distributed control. Two critical issues for using this type of architecture are the load-balancing algorithm and ...

Packet switching equipment is a comparably young market with merely 20 years of evolution. At the core of packet switching equipment lays the switch fabric; this single sub-system is probably the most ...

Integrated circuit technologies are enabling intelligent, chip-based, optical packet switch matrices. Rapid real-time re-configurability at the photonic layer using integrated circuit technologies is ...

"Our photonic switch has 50 input and 50 output channels, for a total of 2,500 switching elements located on the cross points of these channels, which is the largest-scale silicon photonic switch ever ...

Manufacturers sell different types of switching regulators. The location of the storage elements in reference to the switching elements and their quantities generally determines the type of switching ...

This is the last Special Report that Ray Weiss, who passed away on New Year's Eve, prepared for us. We will miss his insight, his expertise, and his friendship. (See our tribute to him in our February ...
