Abstract
The basic photonic switching elements of practical importance are outl ined. A detailed comparative study of photonic switching architectures is presented both for guided wave fabrics and free-space fabrics. The required equations for comparative study are obtained, after consider ing the parameters like bend losses, effects of waveguide crossings, e tc. The potential areas of application of photonic switching are point ed out.
