Abstract

Error-free operation of high-speed wavelength-routed switching is demonstrated for 25-Gbit/s optical packets using 100 GHz-spaced arrayed-waveguide grating and a tunable transmitter that monolithically integrates a parallel-ring-resonator tunable laser with an electro-absorption modulator.
