Abstract

We believe we have demonstrated for the first time wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) all-optical IP tag switching with wavelength conversion and subcarrier multiplexed addressing. Switching over four wavelengths covering 16 nm was demonstrated with noninverting wavelength conversion of 2.5 Gbps payloads and burst mode recovery of tag/headers.
