Optically addressable packet 2 x 2 exchange/bypass switch

We demonstrate an optically addressable 2 OE 2 exchange-bypass switch operating with 10-Gb/s data packets. Switching is achieved at the bit level using an ultrafast nonlinear interferometer gate with two input data signals and a single control signal. The bit error rate of the switch in static confi...

Summary:We demonstrate an optically addressable 2 OE 2 exchange-bypass switch operating with 10-Gb/s data packets. Switching is achieved at the bit level using an ultrafast nonlinear interferometer gate with two input data signals and a single control signal. The bit error rate of the switch in static configuration was estimated to be 10 exp-11 using synchronous digital hierarchy synchronous digital hierarchy 64 data frames. (Author)
