“…Nonlinear optical frequency conversion is important for many applications, including alloptical switching, correlated photon pair generation, and narrow linewidth or multiwavelength sources [1][2][3][4][5]. Four-wave mixing (FWM), a third order nonlinear parametric process, is a common approach to frequency conversion, and optimizing its efficiency is critical to realizing practical levels of performance.…”

“…However, the intrinsic operating flexibility of the multi-granular OBS set-up presented here, as well as the flexibility in the node architecture, allows the implementation of different types of fast switching set-ups, as the control signals are generated from the core router processor and can be easily adjusted to any switching type. In this sense, polarization insensitive switching types [30,31] or even regenerative switching schemes [32,33] can be applied, offering superior performance in terms of BER and better stability almost independent of the input signals. Additionally, the use of the fast tunable laser-based controller at the core router allows the adoption of wavelength conversion schemes either for switching (through passive routing via AWGs) or for contention resolution purposes [33].…”

The utilized tunable laser is capable of switching between 85 different wavelengths in less than 100 ns and with a maximum peak power difference of only 0.5 dB.…”

Abstract-A fundamental issue in all-optical switching is to offer efficient and cost-effective transport services for a wide range of bandwidth granularities. This paper presents multi-granular optical crossconnect (MG-OXC) architectures that combine slow (ms regime) and fast (ns regime) switch elements, in order to support optical circuit switching (OCS), optical burst switching (OBS), and even optical packet switching (OPS). The MG-OXC architectures are designed to provide a cost-effective approach, while offering the flexibility and reconfigurability to deal with dynamic requirements of different applications. All proposed MG-OXC designs are analyzed and compared in terms of dimensionality, flexibilityÕ reconfigurability, and scalability. Furthermore, node level simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of MG-OXCs under different traffic regimes. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed architectures is demonstrated on an application-aware, multi-bitrate (10 and 40 Gbps), end-to-end OBS testbed.

Abstract-In this paper two different paradigms to realize a scalable all-optical packet switch with label swapping will be presented. All the functions required for switching the packets are based on all-optical signal processing without any electronic control. This allows very low latency and potential photonic integration of the systems. We report for both techniques experimental results showing the routing operation of the 160 Gb/s packets and beyond. We will discuss and compare both techniques in term of devices and bit-rate scalability, latency, power consumption, power penalty performance and cascadability as key parameters for the realization of an all-optical packet switch.Index Terms-Optical packet switching, optical signal processing, label processor, label rewriter, label swapping, semiconductor optical amplifier.
