“…In order to preserve the end-to-end optical transparency with respect to the data rate and coding, coarse and fine synchronization have to be performed in the optical domain. The techniques exploited in the KEOPS project for optical packet synchronization rely on tuneable wavelength conversion followed by a high dispersion fiber for fine synchronization [39] and on switchable optical fiber delay lines for coarse synchronization [38], [39]. The minimum and the maximum settable delays in the coarse synchronizer are highlighted in Fig.…”

This paper reviews the work carried out under the European ACTS KEOPS (KEys to Optical Packet Switching) project, centering on the definition, development and assessment of optical packet switching and routing networks capable of providing transparency to the payload bit rate. The adopted approach uses optical packets of fixed duration with low bit rate headers to facilitate processing at the network/node interfaces. The paper concentrates on the networking concepts developed in the KEOPS project through a description of the implementation issues pertinent to optical packet switching nodes and network/node interfacing blocks, and consideration of the network functionalities provided within the optical packet layer. The implementation, from necessity, relies on advanced optoelectronic components specifically developed within the project, which are also briefly described.

“…Optical packet switches require buffering and synchronization of optical packets. Both functionalities can be realized with fiber delay-line arrangements combined with gates for correct access [17]- [22]. Although the use of passive fibers is very simple, the number of delay-lines and thus gates increases dramatically with the traffic load.…”
