Abstract :
Multi-hop cascadibility of a PLZT matrix switch-based optical burst switching node prototype is presented. Using a 50 km recirculating loop setup and a 4times4 matrix switch, more than 10 hop transparency at 10 Gb/s was achieved. Hop-by-hop wavelength conversion for contention resolution and signal reshaping effect was confirmed.
