Abstract :
We demonstrated an optical packet switching node with buffering capabilities for polarization division multiplexing (PDM)-16QAM, DWDM optical packets. Over 10-Tbit/s wideband optical packets were handled by PLZT-based optical switches and demodulated by an offline, coherent burst-mode optical coherent receiver.
