Novel optical label processing technology

Optical label switching is a promising optical packet switching technology to ease the process of getting the route information from the packet label in optical domain. In this paper, a promising kind of multi-wavelength label is adopted and to which a simple label extraction and recognition technology through a array of tunable Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs) is presented.
