Dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) technology offers tremendous
transmission capacity in optical fiber communications. However, switching and routing …

We report on the first demonstration of all-optical label switching (AOLS) with 160 Gb/s
variable length packets and 10 Gb/s optical labels. This result demonstrates the …

A 40Gbit/s packet wavelength routing and 2.5 Gbit/s header replacement is demonstrated
using an ultra-high-speed wavelength converter. Burst-mode bit error rate measurements …

We report optical-label switched optical packet routing with wavelength, time, and space
domain contention resolution. Testing of the packet routing system under three contention …

We demonstrate 2.56 Tbit/s/port dual-polarization DWDM/DQPSK variable-length optical
packet (20 Gbit/s× 64 wavelengths× 2 polarizations) switching and buffering by using a 2× 2 …

Friday, Ma rch 28 Page 1 FRIDAY MORNING / OFC 2003 / 2 Friday, Ma rch 28 troller sends
control signals to the TLD2 to switch to the correct wavelengths. The new labels L1' and L2' …

This paper demonstrates an optical node that simultaneous carries out multicast optical
switching and all-optical label swapping. While the optical payload is being forwarded by a …

We present a novel scheme for packet forwarding in optical packet-switched networks and
we further demonstrate its good scalability through simulations. The scheme requires neither …

Because the sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SG-DBR) laser is among the most
attractive sources for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, it is important and …

We describe the WDM request/allocation protocol (WRAP), a media-access control protocol
for wavelength-routed passive optical networks (WR-PONs) in which each node has a single …
