Composite packet switched WDM networks

We proposed and successfully demonstrated a novel high connectivity composite packet switching system using a single tunable laser source and passive optical components at each node. This could become an economical solution for networks that require high connectivity and packet switching. Photonic slot routing schemes could not only be useful for local area networks but also be an economically viable solution for interconnecting large router farms.
