X. Jiang et al., Control monitoring of routing bits and data packets in WDM networks using wavelength-to-time mapping, IEEE PHOTON, 11(9), 1999, pp. 1186-1188
We demonstrate a wavelength-to-time technique for control monitoring bits,
data packets, and channel powers in a wavelength-division-multiplexed netwo
rk. We recover the routing header bits across parallel wavelengths as well
as determine the existence of data packets for switching purposes. We show
results for a routing- bit monitor of multiple channels with a speed of 2.5
Gb/s and a packet/frame monitor for multiple channels with a speed of 100
MHz.
