Research abstract

In this program, Physical Optics Corporation's Research and Development Division (POC R&D) proposes to develop an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch box based on a fiber optic switching technology. Using this technology, the ATM switch box can operate at a much higher data rate per channel and with a larger number of input-output channels per switch box than a strictly electronic ATM switch. The technology is used to perform multiplexed data-switching based on a spectral/spatial fiber optic switching technique. In Phase I, technology proposed for use in the ATM switch design will be studied and analyzed. The ATM switch box based on the proposed technology will be designed to conform to the established ATM netmork standard.
