“…The IBWR switch consists of a buffering section connected to a non-blocking switching section. The buffering section contains M delay lines, of sizes from 0 to M-1 slots, nN Tunable Wavelength Converters (TWC) [5] with a tuning range of λ 0 ...λ K-1 , K=max (nN,M) and two K×K ArrayedWaveguide-Gratings (AWG) [6]. The routing properties of AWG devices make packets from input port i leave the buffering section at the i-th output port, independently of the wavelength conversion applied.…”

“…This will ensure that BER performance degradation due to the interference of wavelength signals produced during switching can be controlled. Ideally, the laser transmitter itself should perform the attenuation function and advances in integration technology are making this a cost-effective approach [2]. …”

“…In addition to providing immediate cost saving for Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) networks in the areas of back-up transmitters and inventory reduction, these tuneable devices may also be used for developing new network architectures in which wavelength channels can be provided where and when needed. One solution for extremely efficient bandwidth utilisation in WDM networks is the use of wavelength packet routing [1][2][3][4], in which the WDM optical packets are generated by a fast tuneable light source in conjunction with an external modulator. The wavelength packets can then be routed to specific nodes in the optical network by using simple optical filtering techniques.…”

“…They are being introduced as alternatives to fixed wavelength sources to provide a greater degree of flexibility [1] and to reduce large inventory [2]. The sampled-grating distributed Bragg reflector (SG DBR) TL proves to be an ideal candidate, due to its large tuning range (40 nm), high output power (10 dBm), high sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR dB), and simplicity of integration [3].…”
