Abstract

Two time-stacked spectral amplitude code (SAC) labels have been demonstrated by simulation to be recognized by filtering their own corresponding unique four wave mixing (FWM) tones in the forwarding nodes which are converted to be an electrical signal to control the routing direction of the packets. In this scheme, the payload does not need to be delayed by a strict time slot and it can not be chopped by the time gating signal so that the useful data is prevented being lost. The forwarding of the whole packet for two nodes and an error-free (bit-error rate< 10-9) 100 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission have been implemented with 0.1-dBm and 0.3-dBm power penalties in the first and second forwarding nodes, respectively, which shows an essential transmission performance.
