All-Optical Holographic Label Processing for Photonic Packet Switching

A holographic label processor for photonic packet switching is proposed. We observe the process of time-to-space conversion for an optical code consisting of 2 ps pulses at a wavelength of 1.55 $mUm with 100 km fiber transmission. Label recognition using an angular multiplexed spectral hologram (AMSH) as a label bank is experimentally demonstrated. We also investigate the AMSH by CGH and confirm its feasibility in computer simulations.
