An optical burst switching fabric of multi-granularity for Petabits/s multi-chassis switches and routers

A multi-granularity optical burst switch fabric with 80M×80M(M=2, 4, 8...) ports using Fast Tunable Lasers and ULCF-AWG is proposed. This fabric for Petabits/s multi-chassis switches and routers is also experimentally demonstrated.
