A Compact Integrated 40Gb/s Packet Demultiplexer and Label Extractor on Silicon-on-Insulator for an Optical Packet Switch
We demonstrate a compact 40Gb/s 32-channel packet demultiplexer and in-band label extractor based on photonic integrated AWG followed by a narrow-band microring resonator at each AWG output. Error free operation with 0.5dB penalty was measured.
