Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have constructed a fast statistical time-division packet multiplexer (MLTX) based on the cascaded optical delay (GOD) architecture. The COD uses 2x2 lithium niobate photonic crossbar switches and lengths of fiber delay line to buffer contentious packets. The routing control of the COD is performed electronically on a packet-by-packet basis
