Abstract

Summary form only given. In summary, all-optical processing is used experimentally for the 100 Gb/s "off-ram" part of a TDM network access node. The two cascaded low-bi-NOLMs have a switching energies of 10 pJ and contrast ratio of 10:1 for the header processor, while the demultiplexer has a switching energy of 1 pJ and contrast ratio of 10:1. The packet is routed with a contrast ratio of 17:1, which should prevent cross-talk with adjacent nodes.
