Abstract :
Summary form only given.The current rapid growth of data traffic, such as Internet traffic, and the continuing development of WDM techniques show that large-capacity WDM transmission and intelligent IP routers are expected to be effectively combined. And thus large-scale packet switching nodes will have to have a total throughput of over 1 Tbit/s. A l0-Gbit/s and 32-wavelength-channel photonic packet switch has been developed. Practical electrical control circuits including 10-Gbit/s serial-I/O LSIs for packet-based self-routing operation were implemented into it as well as optical WDM circuits. Self-routing operation was successfully demonstrated.
