Inhalt:
We experimentally investigate the cascadability of electro-absorption optical switches for optical packet switched networks. Dual-polarization QPSK and 16QAM optical signals can cascade more than 50 and 10 EA optical switches, respectively, which is 1.6 times greater compared to SOA switches.
