Keywords:Optical switching technologies for high-performance computing and data centers, Modelling, design, implementation, Impairment mitigation, algorithms for advanced switching functionality.

We present the first FPGA implementation of the Two-Step Scheduler framework for modular optical interconnection networks. The longest-queue-first scheduling algorithm guarantees the lowest latency, while the iSLIP algorithm minimizes the hardware resources and scheduling duration.
