Abstract
Photonic space division switching networks are one of the most promising switching systems. In designing such a network on a large scale, C. Burke et al. proposed and demonstrated that use of semiconductor optical amplifiers could reduce optical switch loss[1]. A lossless optical switch unit is most desirable for large scale photonic networks because it enables us to enlarge the network without being concerned about optical loss.
