A Load-Balanced Optical Packet Router Interconnected with a 10 GbEthernet Electronic Router
15 August 2011
We transmit 40 Gb/s optical packets through a load-balanced optical packet router consisting of two 16 x 16 arrayed waveguide gratings, wavelength converters, and an optical-time buffer. The optical router interoperates with an electronic router with 10GbE interfaces.
