W. Dezhong et Rs. Tucker, WAVELENGTH ROUTING-BASED PHOTONIC PACKET BUFFERS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN PHOTONIC PACKET-SWITCHING SYSTEMS, Journal of lightwave technology, 16(10), 1998, pp. 1737-1745
Photonic packet buffers are essential components in photonic packet sw
itching systems. We present a wavelength routing-based photonic packet
buffer based on a state-of-the-art arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) mu
ltiplexer, We show how this new packet buffer can be effectively used
in the implementation of photonic packet switching systems. We also pr
opose and examine two different photonic packet switch architectures.
