Realization of multiwavelength label optical packet switching

The realization of a new kind of multiwavelength label optical packet switching is discussed. In this switching, an optical header is labeled by several optical pulses at different wavelengths in the same optical communication channel band as optical payload. The optical transmitter with header generation and packet formation, receiver with data restoration and switching node with route processing are introduced. The switching principle is verified by a simplified experiment.
