The need for Optical Switching

High bit rate transmission must be matched by switching capacityOptical or Photonic switching can provide such capacity. . CURRENT64 kbits/sec for each subscriber (1 voice channel)Estimated aggregate switching capacity is 10 Gbits/sec. . PROJECTED155 Mbits/sec for each subscriber (Video data etc..)Estimated aggregate switching capacity is 15.5 Tbits/sec.

    33. Ferroelectric Switch Previous work used nematic liquid crystals to control total internal reflection at a glass prism liquid crystal interface. Nematic switches: Low loss, Low crosstalk level, Relatively slow , switching time is in the ms range Latest work investigates an all-optical switch using ferroelectric liquid crystal. The central element of the switch is a ferroelectric liquid crystal controllable half-waveplate.
