1/spl times/4 all-optical packet switch at 10 gb/s

Abstract

We demonstrated a 1/spl times/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-Pe/spl acute/rot laser diode at each output port of the switch.
