Abstract
The Letter describes a photonic asynchronous-transfer-mode (ATM) switc h with an architecture composed of N tunable frequency convertors and N frequency-multiplexed output buffers connected through an N x N arra yed-waveguide grating multiplexer. This ATM switch features a novel ou tput buffering scheme having the best possible performance and causing no splitting loss of optical power.
