Patent

CA 2258333

Combinations of optically coupled Generalized Mach-Zehnder Interferometers (GMZIs) result in switches of greater switching capacity than an isolated GMZI. In a preferred form, the present invention provides a balanced non-blocking switch by using symmetrical configurations of optically coupled GMZIs, and also provides a cascaded non-blocking switch by cascading an N x N GMZI with a (N- 1) x (N- 1) non-blocking switch.
