Prototype 160-Gbit/s/port Optical Packet Switch Based on Optical Code Label Processing and Related Technologies

摘要

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a prototype 160-Gbit/s/port optical packet switch with narrow-band all-optical code-label processing, optical switching, high-extinction-ratio optical buffering, electrical scheduling, and optical multiplexing/demultiplexing (MUX/DEMUX). As related technologies, we also propose and demonstrate a novel system for measuring variable-length packet bit error rate (BER) and loss and a burst-mode optical packet 3R receiver.
