  • Abstract
    A self-routing 2*2 photonic packet switch with two fibre-loop input buffers that provide output contention resolution is demonstrated. The switch uses high-speed electronic control that prioritises all switching and buffer operations and guarantees packet integrity while maximising throughput.
