“…We utilize the multi-mode injection locking property and the bi-stable characteristic of injection-locking in an injectionlocked FP-LD to implement the HPU [31,32]. In this realization, the HPU will emit a packet long control signal depending on the outcome of the optical signal processing at a single bit in the address header of the data packet.…”

We will describe recent results in all-optical packet switching with all-optical header processing using Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP-LD). First, we will report an all-optical header processor and control signal generator using a single FP-LD with a special two-intensity-level control signal and a novel self-routing address format for the data packets. We then show that the special control signal can be generated by direct modulation of a DFB laser with square electrical pulses thus simplifying implementation. We will demonstrate that a single Fabry-Perot laser diode can also serve as an alloptical on/off switch with all-optical header processing. The header rate is 5 Gb/s and the payload rate is 10 Gb/s. The all-optical on/off switch can also be realized by using a FP-LD as the header processor only and executing the packet switching at a separate stage. The two-stage implementation of all-optical on/off switch eliminates the residue header bits problems if only a single FP-LD is used. Finally, we propose an all-optical packet-switched ring network which can be constructed from the all-optical on/off switches demonstrated.

“…Optical header recognition and processing is one key function that enables ultrafast optical routing in photonic packet-switched networks. Many researchers have already proposed and/or demonstrated novel cost effective approaches to optical packet header recognition and processing [1,3,7,8,17]. The dynamic channel mapping unit in our proposed architecture does not require full-fledged optical header processing; therefore incurs lower cost.…”

“…Two beam optical injection locking plays a key role in the optical function devices such as wavelength convertor, optical switch, modulation format convertor, optical logical gate etc., WDM-PON, and all-optical networks (optical header processing and packet switching) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Recently, two beam optical injection locking has been used in a proposed virtual private network [8].…”
