Abstract :
A novel optical header address recognition using a second-harmonic generator cascaded with optical correlator is proposed as a cost-effective way of realising routing in optical networks. The second-harmonic generator is used for minimising optical loss due to wavelength mismatch, while the optical correlator performs address recognition.
