Switch configuration: The routing logic—such as 1xN, Nx1, 2x2, or MxN matrix—defines how signals are directed between ports. For example, a 1xN switch routes a single source to multiple destinations, while a matrix switch enables flexible many-to-many connections for advanced. This technology allows for high bit rate transmission to be switched between various optical lines. 1State Key Laboratory of Information Photonics and Optical Communications (IPOC), Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, 10 Xitucheng Rd, Bei Tai Ping Zhuang, Haidian Qu, Beijing, 100876, China 2IPI-ECO Research Institute, Eindhoven University of Technology, 5600MB Eindhoven, The.
