  • Abstract
    We demonstrate a 40Gb/s pure photonic packet switch testbed for a datacenter network. It uses a photonic wrap/un-wrap to handle all packet sizes, separate control and data paths, and a synchronization scheme to align packets of all nodes at the photonic switch despite different network fiber lengths.
