Abstract
Summary form only given. Guided wave switch arrays are currently being utilized in WDM network experiments. The combination of switching and WDM technologies in optical networks allow new system capabilities such as rapid restoration and wavelength provisioning. In this paper, we will review the attributes of LiNbO/sub 3/ polarization independent electro optical switches and describe recent devices that have been developed for use in experimental switching networks.
