Abstract
Slot timing margins and latency characteristics are investigated experimentally in a fully implemented 12-port optical packet switching (OPS) network. It is found that the self-routing packets are shortened by 400 ps for each node hop due to switching transients. The system further demonstrates a 4% range of slot times over which nondestructive packet routing can occur. Relationships for timing margin requirements in self-routing OPS fabrics are developed as well.
