Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate an optical node with time-space-and-wavelength domain contention resolution, deflection and dropping capability. The node is composed of an optical buffer based on an optical crossconnect and a wavelength converter. Although the experimental results are shown at 10 Gbit/s the bitrate can be increased substantially. Bit-error rate measurements are shown, sustaining only 3.5 dB power penalty after 10µs of optical buffering and agile wavelength conversion over 18nm span.
