All-optical Wavelength Band Conversion Enables New Scalable and Efficient Optical Network Architectures

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Current switching systems are only capable of processing signals on an individual wavelength basis. The traditional electronic switching requires 100% of traffic to undergo optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) conversion. The OEO solution requires expensive demultiplexing, signal processing, and switching at the individual wavelength granularity.
