Abstract :
Summary form only given. Recent advances in all-optical and electro-optic switching devices allow new time-domain photonic data network concepts to be explored. Experimental results from a 100 Gbit/s self-routing packet demonstration and from a synchronous TDMA testbed will be presented.
