Abstract:
We first achieved error-free (BER<10-9) operation of 1.28-Tbit/s/port (64-wavelengths x 20 Gbit/s) DWDM/NRZ-DQPSK optical packet switching and buffering, and demonstrated throughput-scalability could be enhanced by multiplexing and multi-modulation techniques without increase in power consumption.
