#High-Speed Optical Switch A high-speed optical switch is a device used in optical communication networks to selectively route optical signals from one input port to one or more output ports. These switches are essential components in optical networking systems, enabling flexible and efficient management of optical traffic. Key features of high-speed optical switches include: Low Latency: High-speed optical switches are designed to minimize latency, ensuring fast switching times to accommodate high-speed data transmission rates. High Bandwidth: These switches are capable of handling high data rates, allowing them to support the high bandwidth demands of modern optical communication networks. Low Insertion Loss: Optical switches aim to minimize insertion loss to preserve signal integrity and minimize signal attenuation when routing signals between ports. Low Crosstalk: Crosstalk refers to unwanted signal interference between different ports. High-speed optical switches are designed to minimize crosstalk to ensure signal isolation and maintain signal quality. Scalability: Optical switches should be scalable to accommodate the growing demands of optical networks, supporting a large number of input and output ports. Reliability: Reliability is crucial for optical switches, ensuring uninterrupted operation in mission-critical network applications. There are various technologies used in high-speed optical switches, including micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). Each technology has its advantages and is suitable for different applications based on factors such as switching speed, scalability, and power consumption.

Marvell Technology unveiled new products, portfolio development breakthroughs, and partnerships at OFC Conference 2024 targeted at ecosystem-wide scaling of optical technology for the accelerated infrastructure age. Marvell adroitly used OFC 2024 to underscore the major drivers of rapid optical growth and Marvell’s portfolio development approach for enhancing coherent digital signal processors (DSPs), optical PAM4 DSPs, silicon photonics, and other optical technologies aimed at data centers to serve a growing range of architectures, applications, use cases, performance characteristics, and customer profiles. The key products and use cases underscored at OFC 2024 included Marvell Nova 2, Marvell 3D SiPho Engine, Spica Gen2-T, COLORZ 800, O-band Optics, collaboration with Juniper Networks and Coherent Corp. on ZR/ZR+ transport solution, as well as customer momentum for Orion with InnoLight Technology and HGGenuine. I believe that Marvell’s OFC 2024 announcements demonstrate that its portfolio can provide the technological and business foundation to meet the massive scaling demands of optical data rates alongside delivering the energy per bit savings essential to transforming data infrastructure. Through Marvell’s optical-related portfolio, data infrastructure can play an even more integral role in driving ecosystem-wide innovation across key application domains such as AI, cloud computing, smart devices, and streaming media.
