Popis: The concept for building a multistage switching network with optoelectronic components for several hundred parallel channels is investigated. The key components for an experiment are: laser arrays, microlens arrays, holographic optical permutation elements and a monolithic optoelectronic application specific integrated circuit with integrated photodetectors and electronic logic for switching. The demonstration presented in this contribution is a non-blocking and selfrouting shuffle exchange network implementing Batcher's sorting algorithm. It consists of three cascaded stages each having four parallel channels running at a clock rate of 1 MBit s−1. Scaling towards larger number of channels and higher overall data throughput is considered.
