Abstract :
16 bit label swapping of 10 Gbit/s asynchronous optical packets with a label swapper module composed of an optically clocked transistor array (OCTA) integrated with a CMOS label processor is demonstrated. The OCTA´s ability to perform demux/mux and clock generation enables a compact, low-power interface between the high-speed asynchronous optical labels and CMOS circuit. Error-free operation is achieved for a >10 dB input dynamic range
