A. Dottavi et al., ADDRESS RECOGNITION IN ALL-OPTICAL PACKET-SWITCHING BY FWM IN SEMICONDUCTOR AMPLIFIERS, Microwave and optical technology letters, 10(4), 1995, pp. 228-230
In this Letter we propose a novel technique for all-optical address re
cognition in all-optical packet switching, based on wide-deviation FSK
with direct detection and FWM in semiconductor optical amplifiers. Th
e probability of erroneous recognition is evaluated theoretically to a
ssess the feasibility of this solution. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, In
