Embodiment
For the purpose, technical scheme and the advantage that make the embodiment of the invention clearer, below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention, technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described, obviously, described embodiment is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on the embodiment among the present invention, those of ordinary skills belong to the scope of protection of the invention not making the every other embodiment that is obtained under the creative work prerequisite.
The structural representation of a kind of photoswitch that Fig. 1 provides for the embodiment of the invention one, as shown in Figure 1, this photoswitch comprises: N is to the nonblocking switch fabric of N, described nonblocking switch fabric comprises N*M node, and each node comprises that being used to carry out two advances four digital optical switch elements of the two light path exchanges that go out, and each digital optical switch unit has two states, wherein, N is the line number of described nonblocking switch fabric, and M is the columns of described nonblocking switch fabric, and N and M are positive integer; Comprise N input end and N output terminal in the N*M of the described nonblocking switch fabric node;
Wherein, nonblocking switch fabric belongs to a kind of non-blocking network, when the signal that the difference input of non-blocking network is brought in exchanges in non-blocking network, can not produce fighting for same public resource.
Described nonblocking switch fabric is used for receiving N the input optical signal that N input optical fibre imported from N input end; Route through predefined M level node exchanges to a described N input optical signal on the described N output terminal; To be coupled on N the output optical fibre through N the output light signal that obtains after the described nonblocking switch fabric exchange from a described N output terminal.Wherein, N input end connects N input optical fibre, and N output terminal connects N output optical fibre.N input optical fibre can be coupled to nonblocking switch fabric with N input optical signal, and nonblocking switch fabric can receive N input optical signal of this N input optical fibre input from N input end; Nonblocking switch fabric can be coupled on N the output optical fibre from N output terminal N output light signal.
In the present embodiment, because the nonblocking switch fabric of photoswitch comprises N input end and N output terminal, so this photoswitch is the N*N photoswitch.Wherein, N node of the row of first in the M row node is N input end, and N node of the M row in the M row node is N output terminal.
In the present embodiment, because the light path that the nonblocking switch fabric of photoswitch can form is many, every light path connects an input end and output terminal of photoswitch.Every light path is through M level node, and this M level node is the node that is arranged in the nonblocking switch fabric different lines of photoswitch.The route of the M level node of every light path process can preestablish.
