Abstract
A four-channel optical time slot interchange switching experiment oper ating at 2-5 Gbit/s is reported. The system is based on a parallel swi tch fabric incorporating semiconductor laser amplifier gates and fibre delay lines. A sensitivity penalty of 0.2 dB for straight through ope ration, and 0.7 dB for fully interchanged time slots was observed.
