Design of an arrayed waveguide gratings based optical packet switch
Shukla, V1, Jain, A2, Srivastava, R3.
Optical packet switching is considered as the future of data transfer technology
in combination with middle-aged electronics. The biggest challenge
encountered in optical packet switching is the lack of optical buffers for storing
the contending packets. Therefore, for the contention resolution of packets, a
temporary storage in terms of fiber delay lines is used. This task is
accomplished by an optical packet switch. In this paper, a design modification
in the AWGR (Arrayed Waveguide Grating Router) is presented for improving
the switch performance. The power budget analysis of the switch is also
presented to estimate the sufficient power level of the switch. The obtained
results clearly reveal that the architecture presented in this paper can be
operated in micro-watts in comparison to the earlier optical switch which
operates in milli watts regime. Finally, simulation results are presented to obtain
packet loss probability and average delay. Even at the higher load of 0.6, the
switch presented in this paper provides a very low loss probability 6 (10 ) ï€ and
delay remain within 2 slots.
