Abstract :
A compact all-optical serial-to-parallel converter was developed based on a planar lightwave circuit and a spin-polarised surface-reflection all-optical switch made of low-temperature-grown Be-doped strained InGaAs/InAlAs multiple quantum wells. 16-bit label recognition of 40 Gbit/s optical packets using the converter and a CMOS label recognition circuit is demonstrated.
