Optical packet labeling based on simultaneous polarization shift keying and amplitude shift keying.

We propose and demonstrate label encoding-swapping and transmission for an orthogonally labeled packet by use of a 10-Gbit/s amplitude shift keying payload and a 2.5-Gbit/s polarization shift keying (PolSK) label. A simple scheme for demodulating and demultiplexing the PolSK label based on an injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diode is described. The extinction ratio of the newly added PolSK label can be precisely controlled and maintained after the intermediate node.
