Abstract
Currently, optical cross-connects working on wavelength division
multiplexing systems are based on optical fiber delay lines buffering.
We designed and analyzed a novel photonic crystal optical memory, which
replaces the fiber delay lines of the current optical cross-connect
buffer. Optical buffering systems based on random photonic crystal
optical memory have similar behavior to the electronic buffering systems
based on electronic RAM memory. In this paper, we show that OXCs working
with optical buffering based on random photonic crystal optical memories
provides better performance than the current optical cross-connects.
