Abstract

This overview presents recent studies on photonic switches and discusses the existing different types, such as space-division switches, free-space switches, time-division switches, wavelength division switches, and frequency division switches. The architectures and applications of these switches are also discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
