White Paper: The Brilliance Behind Glimmerglass' Intelligent Optical Switching

The Glimmerglass Brilliance technology platform leverages the power of microphotonics to produce a family of intelligent optical switching systems. These fiber-to-fiber switches establish truly transparent connections, passing any optical data stream independent of format or data rate as well as bands of optical data streams independent of power level or number of wavelengths. Brilliance is a technology comprised of two design components: Brilliant Connections, a highly scalable dynamic micro-photonic optical and mirror system, and Brilliant Controls, an intelligent, real-time micro-mirror control system. Brilliance technology forms a fully transparent optical cross-connect architecture that is low loss, fast, and reliable.
