All-optical multiple-label-processing based optical packet switch prototype and novel 10 gb ethernet / 80 (8λ × 10) gbps-wide colored optical packet converter with 8- channel array burst-mode packet transceiver

Abstract

We demonstrate IP-packet/10-Gbit-Ethernet transporting by novel 80-Gbit/s/port optical packet switch prototype with IP/OP converters, packet-transceiver of instantaneous- locking (≪1 ns), and multiple-label-processor of ultra-fast processing (/spl Gt;100 ps) to achieve 7.2- Gbps IP-packet throughput with low packet-loss-rate (<10-6).
