We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical switching",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Optical switching multiplexers meet LXI needs from
Pickering Interfaces, which we summarised at the time by saying "The LXI Class C compliant interface allows the 60-850/1 to be remotely controlled via its Ethernet port through a web browser or by the programmatic interface".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Acquisitions address fast-growing opto markets from
NeoPhotonics: "NeoPhotonics has acquired two California-based optoelectronics companies: LightConnect of Newark and OpTun based in Santa Clara".
In May 2006, we covered the news from Polatis
- take a look at Optical switching on show in Chicago
which says: "Polatis will showcase the use of its switches in carrier network applications at GlobalComm 2006 next month".
Take a look also at the news release from Power-One, Programmable PoLs power optical switch,
as well as Optical switches add reach to video signals from Polatis,
and Optical switches set for launch at Anaheim show from Polatis.
