Abstract :
We propose and successfully demonstrate a novel, simple and low-cost concept of optical time-slot switching, i.e. switching part of one 160 Gbit/s ODTM channel to another 160 Gbit/s channel all in optical domain without any optical-electrical-optical (OEO) conversion and with negligible power penalty
