Abstract
A modular, cascadable, and self-controlled optical queue buffer is proposed,
which can solve the packet contention at a 2 × 1 optical node. Controlled by
incoming optical packets, the buffer can realize first-in-first-out queue buffering
without the necessity of external control signals. By using optical threshold
functions and wavelength converters based on semiconductor optical amplifier, the
push and pop operations of packets on queue can both be achieved. In addition,
preliminary experiment is carried out.
