Abstract
In this paper, we propose a four-level architecture to integrate an entire optical switching system on a chip using wavelength selective optical switches based on digital optical phase conjugation (DOPC), where is the number of input fibers, the number of output fibers and the number of wavelengths carried within each input and output fiber. We show that a strictly non-blocking system might be built on a chip. With a 0.8 nm channel space, such optical switching systems might be widely used for dense wavelength division multiplexing networks.
