Transmission performance of all-optically labelled packets using ASK/DPSK orthogonal modulation

First transmission experiment with all-optically labelled packets consisting of ASK modulated payload and orthogonally modulated DPSK label is demonstrated. The limitation of the laser linewidth and the input extinction ratio are discussed.
