摘要： An all-optical cross-connect switching system provides optical switching that may reduce processing requirements by three orders of magnitude over conventional techniques by associating at least one optical detector with an optical beam steering element. In one embodiment, a first beam steering element, having a reflective surface in optical association with a first optical fiber array, and a second beam steering element, having a reflective surface in optical association with a second optical fiber array, are optically arranged to direct an optical beam from a first optical fiber in the first optical fiber array to a second optical fiber in the second optical fiber array. The optical detector provides information about a first position of the optical beam on the second beam steering element. Based on this information, the angle of the first beam steering element may be adjusted to cause the optical beam to change to a second position on the second beam steering element.

摘要： A method and system for providing component status of a local or receiving component to a distributed component in a communication network is provided. The design determines defect status for the local or receiving component and cross connects the defect status for the local component to at least one distributed component separate from the local or receiving component, typically using a unified cross connect design. The design also alters a connection matrix maintained within each distributed component to indicate defect status for a transmit channel between the local component and the remote component. Remote defect indications may be determined within the design and provided to the remote components.
