    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Optical Communications
    • Photonics

    Background:

    • High-speed optical packet switching is crucial for future network infrastructure.
    • Existing methods often require optical-to-electrical conversion, introducing latency and complexity.
    • All-optical solutions offer potential for faster and more efficient data handling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and evaluate an all-optical 2-bit header recognition and packet switching system.
    • To demonstrate the feasibility of using polarization bistable VCSELs for header processing.
    • To assess the performance of the system with high-speed data payloads.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized two 1.55-µm polarization bistable vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) as flip-flop devices.
    • Employed AND-gate operations with header, set, and reset pulses for bistable VCSEL control.
    • Integrated three optical switches for directing packets based on recognized header bits.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully switched optical packets with 40-Gb/s payloads to designated ports based on 2-bit headers.
    • Operated the system using a 4-bit, 500-Mb/s return-to-zero header format.
    • Achieved efficient operation with input pulse powers significantly lower than VCSEL output power.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed all-optical method effectively performs 2-bit header recognition and packet switching.
    • Polarization bistable VCSELs are suitable components for all-optical header processing.
    • The method shows promise for extension to multi-bit header recognition and advanced optical networking.
