Towards Transparent All-Optical Label-Swapped Networks: 40 Gbit/s Ultra-Fast Dynamic Wavelength Routing Using Integrated Devices

All-optical routing of 40 Gbit/s 1.6 ns packets is demonstrated employing integrated devices based on SOA-MZIs. The scheme allows wavelength transparent operation and sub-nanosecond dynamic wavelength selection for future packet/label switched networks.
