Abstract
In this paper we present a new approach for building non-blocking optical MINs on building blocks of given size. The network constructed by our approach is self-routing and has O(log2N) propagation delay for size N×N. The maximum signal loss and crosstalk are compared to those of the widely used crossbar network with the switch complexity of O(N2). The proposed approach is a good choice for constructing non-blocking optical switch networks with low signal loss and crosstalk.
