Demonstration of multi-hop optical packet switching and transmission using SOA-based optical packet switches

We demonstrate a multi-hop optical packet switching using SOA-based broadband optical switches and burst-mode EDFAs. Over 450 km all-optical packet transmission was achieved by 10-hops of the optical packet switch for the first time.
