Multi-hop, 40 Gbit/s variable length photonic packet routing based on multi-wavelength label switching, waveband routing and label swapping

Three-hop, 40 Gbit/s, variable length all-optical packet routing with over 120 km transmission based on multi-wavelength label switching, waveband routing (label merge), and all-optical label swapping has been demonstrated experimentally for the first time. The details are expressed in the presentation.
