Optical switches are becoming crucial in optical communication networks to scale switching capacity to meet continuously growing traffic demand. 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. An optical circuit switch is a network device that establishes a transparent, end-to-end light path between two ports without converting the optical signal to an electrical signal. Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) has emerged as a critical technology for next‐generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) and hyperscale data‐center networks.
