ABSTRACT:
A Sagnac gate-based self-routing optical signal switching node demultiplexes each channel of data bits of an N channel multiplexed optical data signal to one of a plurality of output terminals in accordance with the routing bit(s) of each data channel received in the N channel multiplexed optical data signal. In one embodiment, each data channel includes multiple routing bits enabling greater demultiplexer selectivity.
