Nanosecond Electro-Optic Switching with Time Synchronisation for Fronthaul TSN Applications
This paper presents a high-speed photonic switching system with time synchronization, enabling nanosecond switching for time-sensitive fronthaul transmission. Fronthaul performance is measured, demonstrating 33ns switch-on latency and supporting 5G/6G dynamic traffic. ©2024 The Author(s)
