Abstract
A small size matrix switch is desired for constructing large scale optical switching systems. An optical gate matrix switch which consists of optical splitters, combiners and gates has advantages of its simple construction and ability of non-blocking and point-to-multipoint connections. So far this kind of switch (1) was hybrid and it seemed difficult to interconnect optical gates with optical circuits.
