Abstract
We demonstrate high-speed optical packet switching using a fast broadband-tunable laser. The optical packets are modulated at 2.5 Gb/s and may be switched among 4 wavelength channels in less than 1 bit period, thereby requiring no significant guardband. The data packets are transmitted through 200 km of non-DSF and yield open eye diagrams
