1 4 All - Optical Packet Switch at 10 Gb / s
We demonstrated a 1 4 all-optical packet switch with all-optical header processing at a header rate of 5 Gb/s and payload rate of 10 Gb/s using injection-locking in a single Fabry–Pérot laser diode at each output port of the switch.
متن کاملOptical Packet Switching and Buffering by Using All-Optical Signal Processing Methods
We present a 1 2 all-optical packet switch. All the processing of the header information is carried out in the optical domain. The optical headers are recognized by employing the two-pulse correlation principle in a semiconductor laser amplifier in loop optical mirror (SLALOM) configuration. The processed header information is stored in an optical flip-flop memory that is based on a symmetric c...
متن کاملAll-optical signal processing for optical packet switching networks [5907-20]
We discuss how all-optical signal processing might play a role in future all-optical packet switched networks. We introduce a concept of optical packet switches that employ entirely all-optical signal processing technology. The optical packet switch is made out of three functional blocks: the optical header processing block, the optical memory block and the wavelength conversion block. The oper...

Fractional Lambda (λ) Switching (FλSTM) adds the necessary efficiency to Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) while preserving the simplicity of whole λ switching. Due to its provisioning capability, from a fraction of STS-1 to a full optical channel capacity, FλSTM will extend the reach of optical networking all the way to the network edges in the metro and enterprise. Finally, FλSTM uniquel...
متن کاملUltrafast All-Optical Shift Register and Its Perspective Application for Optical Fast Packet Switching
SEED (self-electrooptic effect device) configuration, symmetric(S) SEED switching characteristics, a single all-optical memory cell, and the packet switch structure are briefly introduced. By applying a planar integrated optical circuit based on SEEDs, the demonstration of an all-optical memory cell, which can be used in optical switching and optical data storing is introduced by using master-s...
