A novel architecture of optical code label generation and recognition for optical packet switching

A novel architecture of optical code (OC) label generation and recognition for optical packet switching (OPS) by using super structured fiber Bragg grating (SSFBG) is proposed.The OC label is generated and recognized by a label generator and recognizer,respectively.The label generator is composed of N encoders in parallel,and it can generate 2N kinds of serial optical code labels (SOCLs) for indicating 2N network routing information.The label recognizer can decode SOCLs by N decoders in parallel and provides label information to the switching control unit so that clock information is not required during the decoding process.In the switch nodes,handling of the high-speed information payload stream and the recognition of the OC label are performed in the optical domain,while processing of the routing information remains in the electrical domain.This approach could be a promising solution for an OPS network with high capacity,good quality of service (QoS),multi-service function and high security.In this experiment,we demonstrate 40Gbps 256 label optical packet switching that employs clockless SOCL processing.

An optical IM/FSK coding technique for the implementation of a label-controlled arrayed waveguide packet router

In this paper, we present a new concept of optical packet/burst switching suitable for generalized multiprotocol label switched (GMPLS)-based optical networks. In such networks, optical labeled switched paths are being established in a similar way as label-switched paths in MPLS. We use a wavelength label as well as an orthogonally modulated label, with respect to the payload modulation format, and which is encoded using either frequency-shift keying (FSK) or differential phase-shift keying (DPSK). Wavelength is used for switching in the node, whereas the orthogonal label defines the label-switched path. We present both simulation and experimental results to assess transmission performance of the proposed combined modulation scheme. In addition, we propose a suitable optical node architecture that can take advantage of this stacked label concept. Toward this, we use widely tunable wavelength converters to efficiently route IM/FSK (or IM/DPSK) optically labeled packets in an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG)-based node structure. We present performance simulation results in terms of packet loss ratio and internal block probability. Internal blocking is an inherent problem of AWG optical routers, and a specific wavelength assignment algorithm has been developed to minimize it. Finally, the feasibility of IM/FSK transmission is experimentally demonstrated over an 88-km single-mode fiber span, and novel aspects of FSK generation and detection techniques are presented.     

A novel scheme for generating optical dark return-to-zero pulses and its application in a label switching optical network

We experimentally demonstrate a novel and simple method to generate a dark return-to-zero (RZ) pulse with tunable pulsewidth and extinction ratio by using a dual-arm LiNbO /sub 3/ intensity modulator. Our experimental results show that this dark RZ pulse signal can be used in a 10-Gb/s optical packet switching system as an optical label. In addition, we demonstrate that this dark RZ label can be easily erased using the gain saturation effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier.     

Transmission performance of implicit optical label switching system with coherently detected spectral amplitude code labels

A new optical label switching system with coherently detected implicit spectral amplitude code (SAC) labels is proposed in this paper. The implicit SAC labels are recognized using a frequency-swept local light source oscillator. An explicit SAC-label switching system with 40 Gbit/s intensity modulation (IM) payloads and 156 Mbit/s label and an implicit SAC-label switching system with 2.5 Gbit/s IM payloads and 156 Mbit/s label are both considered. Label and payload bit error rate (BER) performance is assessed and compared by simulations. The results reveal that after 80 km transmission and at the BER of 10-9, the received optical power (ROP) values of label and payload are -8.3 dBm and -23.5 dBm in implicit SAC-label switching system, respectively, while those are -18.2 dBm and -18.6 dBm in explicit SAC-label switching system, respectively. As a result, the payloads of 40 Gbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s in explicit/implicit SAC-label switching system have little influence on the received payload quality at the BER of 10-9 after 80 km transmission. Finally, a payload of 40 Gbit/s can obtain 12.5 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) after 80 km transmission.

High-capacity multiservice optical label switching for the next-generation Internet

This article presents an optical label switching technology geared toward the next-generation Internet, and highlights its promising potential to accommodate packet, burst, and circuit traffic in a unified optical layer. In particular, we provide detailed discussions on an architecture design for a high capacity optical label switching router by considering enabling optical technologies. In pursuit of an effective contention resolution scheme, we investigate an end-to-end solution by incorporating a traffic shaping function at the network edge with wavelength, time, and space dimensions contention resolution in the core network. Experimental results indicate that this scheme is capable of achieving very low packet loss rates. Furthermore, due to its natural compatibility with GMPLS architecture, optical label switching has great potential for a seamless upgrade of today's optical networks toward the next generation Internet.

Experimental characteristics of optical crosspoint switch matrix and its applications in optical packet switching

This paper presents the experimental results of the switching performances of the fast reconfigurable optical crosspoint switch (OXS) matrix. This paper demonstrates unicast optical packet switching for a 10-Gb/s payload at various modulation formats and a 155-Mb/s nonreturn-to-zero label. Reconfigurable time as fast as 2 ns is achieved because of the optimized control circuit and device fabrication. The power and wavelength dependence for the payload and the capability of multihop operation are investigated as well. The functionalities of the OXS acting as an optical switch and an optical buffer are demonstrated in the optical network node experiment. Very good switching property is obtained for the OXS, which clearly validates OXS as a potential technique for future high-speed Internet-protocol-over-wavelength-division-multiplexing networks.     

High-speed optical FSK modulator for optical packet labeling

We described a novel optical label swapping (OLS) technique for optical packet systems using frequency-shift-keying (FSK) optical labeling. High-speed optical FSK signal can be generated by using an external FSK modulator consisting of four optical phase modulators. The FSK modulator was based on optical single-sideband (SSB) modulation technique, and comprised of traveling-wave electrodes for high-speed frequency switching. We demonstrate 10 Gbps FSK transmission, and simultaneous modulation by FSK and intensity modulation (IM). OLS using double-sideband modulation was also demonstrated, where this technique can be used for a bundled wavelength-domain-multiplexing (WDM) channels without using an array of pumping light sources.

A novel architecture of optical code label processing in parallel designed for all optical routing system

A novel architecture of optical code label routing is designed based on optical code division multiplexing techniques, which performs the data packet forwarding and processing in parallel with a way of making the label and payload encoded and decoded separately. It uses optical polarity characteristics to realize the separation of the label and payload, employs fiber Bragg grating to encode/decode the label and payload so as to process them in parallel, and makes the forwarding and routing process realized in the optical domain. In the core router, the separation of the label and payload guarantees that the switch processing only includes the short label code recognition, without processing the payload. The payload recognition is carried out in the edge router. Thus, the router can simplify the processing of encoding and decoding in the core router, accelerating the switching, and increase the throughput greatly. Moreover, the novel routing scheme not only supports the varying of data packets, transparent transmission, fine granularity switching, and so on, but also is suitable for the aggregation of data service. It is attractive for the future development of all optical routing.     

Multicast-capable optical code label switching and its experimental demonstration

Optical multicasting employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has a problem with scalability, because the number of multicast members may surpass the number of available wavelength paths. In contrast to the conventional connection-oriented approach, this paper proposes optical code (OC) label switching for multicast networking and experimentally demonstrates this approach. The enabling components are an OC label, on which multicast group information is mapped, and a multicast routing table implemented with a reconfigurable optical matrix switch. This approach mitigates the scarcity of wavelength resources, thus, providing scalable optical multicast networking.     

Design and experimental demonstration of a variable-length optical packet routing system with unified contention resolution

This paper presents theoretical design, network simulation, implementation, and experimental studies of optical packet routing systems supporting variable-length packets. The optical packet switching network exploits unified contention resolution in core routers in three optical domains (wavelength, time, and space) and in edge routers by traffic shaping. The optical router controller and lookup table, implemented in a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), effectively incorporates the contention resolution scheme with pipelined arbitration of asynchronously arriving variable-length packets. In addition, real-time performance monitoring based on the strong correlation between the bit-error rates of the optical label and those of the data payload indicates its application in optical time-to-live detection for loop mitigations. Successful systems integration resulted in experimental demonstration of the all-optical packet switching system with contention resolution for variable-size packets.
