An All-Optical Grooming Switch for Interconnecting Access and Metro Ring Networks [Invited]

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A regenerative all-optical grooming switch for interconnecting 130 Gbit/s on–off keying (OOK) metro/core ring and 43 Gbit/s-OOK metro/access ring networks with switching functionality in time, space, and wavelength domains is demonstrated. Key functionalities of the switch are traffic aggregation with time-slot interchanging functionality, optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) demultiplexing, and multi-wavelength 2R regeneration. Laboratory and field demonstrations show the excellent performance of the new concept with error-free signal transmission and Q-factors above 20 dB.
