Technologies and systems of optical switching

We report on the latest advances in photonic technologies of functions required for optical routing and switching systems including wavelength conversion, monolithic tunable optical routers, payload envelope détection, packet forwarding, optical buffers, optical synchronizers, optical clock recovery, mode-locked lasers and 3R regeneration.
