Abstract
An all-optical serial header processor is demonstrated using a semiconducto r laser amplifier in a loop mirror configuration (SLALOM). The operation of the header processor is discussed and it is experimentally demonstrated wi th a 10Gbit/s Manchester encoded (information rate of 5Gbit/s) packet strea m. The operation of the header processor is based on the correlation functi on of the SLALOM. The header processor can be utilised in devising all-opti cal packet switches.
