Photonic packet switches offer the high speed, data rate and format transparency, and flexibility required by future computer communications and cell-based telecommunications networks. We review experimental progress in Multiwavelength photonic packet switches with an emphasis on all-optical guided wave systems. The term all-optical implies that the data portion of a packet remains in optical f...

In this paper, we proposed a photonic packet switching control method by used optical correlator for optical packet label packetswitched networks for next Generation networks. The main advance is rely on using the Optical Code Division Multiplexing (OCDM) code to labeling optical packets based on source routing. Based on OCDM labeling either header modification or any label swapping techniques ...

— Optical packet switching is a promising technology, which can integrate both data and optical network. In this paper, we present a comparative study of various traffic arrival approaches in WDM packet switches. The comparison is made based on packet loss rate and average delay under uniform and self-similar Pareto traffic. Computer simulations are performed in order to obtain the switch perfo...

We study photonic packet switching architecture that enables a high node through-put and provides priority services in DiffServ (Differentiated Services). As we will show in this paper, a photonic packet switch can be equipped with an ultra-high-speed address-lookup capability in the optical domain. However, the optical buffer must be managed in the electrical domain. In this paper, we investig...

Introduction “4K” motion pictures (3840x2048 pixels), which is 4 times pixel counts of high-definition (HD), are promising imaging technology for digital cinema, computer visualization, a...

Abstract: Highly-efficient, fabric-wide calibration of balanced control for optical switch fabrics without built-in power-detectors is first realized with fully-automated implementation. This technique co-optimizes thermo-optic and electro-optic phase elements, correcting phase-error and power-imbalance simultaneously for optimized performance.

In this paper two different paradigms to realize a scalable all-optical packet switch with label swapping will be presented. All the functions required for switching the packets are based on all-optical signal processing without any electronic control. This allows very low latency and potential photonic integration of the systems. We report for both techniques experimental results showing the r...

The use of optical buffer memories in packet switched networks is unavoidable to resolve contention problems. The fiber loop buffer memory of one slot delay is used in number of all optical switch architectures. In this paper, the behavior of such a loop memory is simulated and results are presented.

Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS) are optical networking concepts based on fully exploiting fast dynamic allocation of (D)WDM channels. Compared to more static approaches focusing on providing endto-end optical channels, OPS and OBS aim at providing greater bandwidth efficiency, granularity and flexibility. In this paper we give an overview of the issues arising w...
