    Abstract: An arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) based multi-core and multi-wavelength interconnection network, comprising N upper-level switches, N lower-level switches, and a network intermediate stage, with each upper- and lower-level switches has N CWDM optical transceiving modules. The N optical transceiving modules of each upper-level switch is connected with n m×1 multi-core optical multiplexing modules, the N optical transceiving modules of each lower-level switch is connected with n 1×m multi-core demultiplexing modules, the network intermediate stage is comprised of n2 r×r multi-core and multi-wavelength wiring modules. The upper-level multi-core optical multiplexing modules, the lower-level multi-core demultiplexing modules, and the n2 r×r multi-core and multi-wavelength wiring modules of the network intermediate stage are connected via an m-core MPO-MPO optical fiber jumper. The wiring complexity of the interconnection network is O(N2/r), with employment of a wavelength set of Λ={λ0, . . . , λk-1}. The present invention conserves wavelength resources of communication windows, enhances scalability of the AWG based interconnection network, while reduces network wiring complexity.

    Abstract: A scalable switch fabric using optical interconnects includes one or more line modules each including fabric interface optics supporting a plurality of optical output signals; an optical interconnect optically connected to each of the one or more line modules via the fabric interface optics; and one or more center stage switches, wherein the optical interconnect is adapted to shuffle the plurality of optical output signals from each of the one or more line modules to the one or more center stage switches. The optical interconnect can include two levels of shuffle to distribute each of the plurality of optical signals from each of the fabric interface optics to the one or more center stage switches.
