Abstract
New multi-stage image switching networks employing spatially multiplexed crosspoints and birefringent interconnects are described which simultaneously reduce both the crosspoint count and the switch control complexity to the theoretical minimum. The networks may be one-sided or two-sided, and both types are non-blocking in the strict-sense.
