Optical data self-routing using address decoding

چکیده
We present an optoelectronic self-routing packet switch for digital data commutation applications. The routing of the input data is determined by the optical decoding of the destination address coded in the packet header preceding the data bits. As proof of the operating principle, a one input 64 output demonstration system was built. The experiment is based on the association of

Introduction: Requirements of the physical layer in a photonic switching network include a high channel bandwidth for the throughput of ultra-high bandwidth signals, fast switching speeds and optical processing of switching control algorithms to remove the speed bottleneck imposed by electronic processing. Integrated-optic waveguide switches offer a channel bandwidth comparable to that of the f...

A deflection routing algorithm that can be applied to a novel self-routing address scheme for networks with arbitrary topology is proposed. The proposed deflection routing algorithm can be implemented all-optically using bitwise optical logic gates. Besides the primary output link selection, alternate output link choices by a packet at each node in case of deflection are also encoded in the add...
متن کاملA Novel Self-Routing Address Scheme for All-Optical Packet-Switched Networks With Arbitrary Topologies
Pure all-optical packet-switched networks in which both header processing and packet routing are carried out in the optical domain overcome the bandwidth bottlenecks of optoelectronic conversions and therefore are expected to meet the needs of next generation high speed networks. Due to the limited capabilities of available optical logic devices, realizations of pure all-optical packet-switched...
متن کاملUltra-fast photonic packet switching with optical control.
We report the first demonstration of all-optical multi-bit address recognition at 250 Gb/s using a self-routing scheme. With bit period being only 4 ps, two address bits from each packet header were used for routing. Photonic packets can be removed(dropped) by a routing switch from network traffic at their destination. The packet-switching bit-error rate was measured to be less than 10(-9) .
متن کاملIntegrated-Optic Circuits for Recognition of Photonic Routing Labels
An optical fiber provides enormous capacity of more than tens terabits per second for transmission in photonic networks, whereas packet processing in network nodes will become a bottleneck for large-capacity networking. For realization of large-capacity and high-speed photonic networks, fast optical processing without conversion to electric signal is preferable (Seo et al., 1996; Blumenthal et ...
