Abstract

Multiwavelength optical messages encoded in a bit-parallel fashion are successfully routed through five switching nodes of a 12-port optical packet switching interconnection network. The data payloads are entirely recovered and processed at the destination node using an embedded clock signal with a measured clock-to-data skew tolerance window of 150 ps.
