Programmable 1×N Multicast for 400G Data Center Networks Via a 32×32 SDN-Controlled Silicon Photonics Optical Circuit Switch
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: We demonstrate programmable 1xN multicast on an SDN-controlled 32 × 32 silicon photonics OCS. Experimental results show error-free 400 G LWDM transmission for$1 \times 2$, 1×3, and$1 \times 4$configurations using integrated SOA gain control. This platform provides scalable, low-latency communication primitives essential for next-generation AI-centric data center architectures.
