Abstract

In this talk we will review functions for optical packet switching and ultra-fast network functions that can be handled using all-optical signal processing technologies. We will review research results utilizing ultra-fast all-optical nonlinear fiber wavelength converters and InP integrated optical wavelength converters. Application to all-optical label swapping and WDM/OTDM networks will be discussed.
