New Photonic System for Optical Packet Switching [PDF]
Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics, 2003 Fast optical switching (ms timebase) is realized by using a RF frequency tone inserted in the optical packet that carries a digital payload. By using a highly selective RF filtering for optical packet header frequency recognition, we have obtained ...
