提出了一种新型的基于时间-波长转换的异步全光信头处理器。它总是只需要四个光功能块，即，整个复杂性不随可能的报头的数量而线性扩展。该方案在10.9 GB/S速率下进行了实验验证，并在四种不同的输出中区分了四种不同的报头。有限的开关数量(四个)、低光功率操作以及每个开关在单个芯片中的潜在的光子集成使得该系统具有高度的可扩展性，因此适合于设计全光分组交换。
We propose a novel asynchronous all-optical header processor based on time-to-wavelength conversion. It always requires only four optical functional blocks, i.e., the whole complexity does not linearly scale with the number of possible headers. The scheme is experimentally demonstrated at 10.9 Gb/s and four different headers are distinguished at four distinct outputs. The limited amount of switches (four), the low optical power operation, and the potential photonic integration of each switch in a single chip make the system highly scalable and, therefore, suitable for devising an all-optical packet switch.
