Fast Packet Routing in a 2.5 Tb/s Optical Switch Fabric with 40 Gb/s Duobinary Signals at 0.8 b/s/Hz Spectral Efficiency
01 January 2003
We demonstrate error-free 40 Gb/s duobinary packet routing by fast wavelength switching on two ports in a 64x64 passive optical switch fabric. Switching in less than 45 ns for all channel combinations and burst-mode clock recovery in less than 15 ns are achieved.
