Abstract :
Optical signal processing will be widely used in future photonic switches, because it can remove the bottleneck at electrooptic interfaces and offer an ultrahigh throughput. Self-clocked self-routing photonic switching with optical pulse-interval time-division address encoding (OPI-TDAE) has been recently demonstrated, which is useful to build broadband communication networks. In order to effectively implement photonic bit switching with OPI-TDAE, a modified architecture is presented in this paper. It is based on the two-wavelength scheme
