ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for low loss, high speed exchange optical switching. The optical switch of this invention includes one or more a switchable diffraction gratings. The optical switch of this invention is capable of connecting two or more input optical beams to two more output locations. Optical noise suppression means for switchable diffraction gratings can be utilized to suppress crosstalk.
