All-optical packet-switching eliminates the need for optical-electrical conversion and are ideal for high speed networks of the future. However, owing to the lack of optical random access memory and limited optical signal processing power available, progresses in all-optical packet-switching have been very slow. Recently, by using the multimode injection locking property and bistability characteristics of Fabry-Perot laser diode (FP-LD), the paper demonstrated all-optical on-off switching of packets with all-optical header processing and an all-optical packet add-drop for an all-optical packet-switched network. This paper demonstrated a 10 Gb/s optically-controlled 2?2 switching cell which can be used as the switching fabric of an all-optical 2?2 node with all-optical header processing.
