Abstract

En 中文
This paper addresses latency reduction in optical circuit switching for data-center networks, where a large number of users and dense traffic conditions impose stringent delay constraints. An 8 & times;8 optical switching interconnect is designed, in which path feasibility is evaluated based on the distance between input and output ports to support low-latency data transmission. A recurrent learning framework using long short-term memory is employed to assist in port-path selection by analyzing all possible input-output combinations. The trained model enables early identification of feasible paths associated with lower switching delay and reduced reception errors. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves a minimum switching latency of 0.32 to 0.4 ns, along with a bit-error rate on the order of 10(-17) to 10(-18). An extinction ratio of approximately 20 dB is also obtained, indicating improved signal integrity. The results show that latency-aware path-feasibility selection can enhance the operational performance of optical circuit switching in data-center networks without increasing architectural complexity.
