Abstract :
We demonstrate the operation of an optical packet switching node with buffering for 12.8-Tbit/s polarization and wavelength division multiplexed, 16-QAM optical packets after 50-km of fiber transmission. Processed optical packets were recovered by an offline burst-mode optical coherent receiver while keeping BER below FEC limit.
