Abstract

We describe the design and initial results of an all-optical buffered 40 Gb/s packet switch. Dynamic packet forwarding is illustrated and specific attention is directed to buffering. We assess the challenges in meeting the requirements for optical buffering devices. Slow light and delay line buffering approaches are described and several recent results and issues are summarized.
