ABSTRACT:
Optical switching, routing, interconnection and time delay systems incorporating switchable mirrors in order to overcome problems associated with sensitivity to wavelength of optical carriers, insertion loss, number of required switching devices and control signals switch isolation, noise and crosstalk suppression, spurious reflections, data skew and compactness that are present in previous optical switching, routing, interconnection and time delay systems.
