  • Abstract
    This letter presents a new scheme to realize multicast operation in a wavelength-routed optical packet switch by adding multicast modules. The proposed multicasting scheme is based on multitimeslot multiwavelength conversion in conjunction with wavelength selection to resolve the problem of output contention.
