Abstract
A photonic switching system includes an optical link conversion board having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end, a plurality of wavelength converter elements arranged at a constant pitch along the first end of the optical link conversion board and converting input optical signals into optical signal components having different wavelengths, a combiner for combining the optical signal components received from the wavelength converter elements into an optical signal which includes optical signal components having a plurality of wavelengths, a plurality of light output parts arranged at a constant pitch along the second end of the optical link conversion board, and a deflector for sequentially deflecting the optical signal from the combiner to an arbitrary one of the light output parts in response to a control signal so that the optical signal at the arbitrary light output part includes a plurality of optical signal components having different wavelengths.
