Abstract

This paper focuses on performances of limited range wavelength converters (LRWCs) in resolving optical packet contentions. An optical packet switch is proposed, which uses recirculation LRWC groups and recirculation fiber delay lines (FDLs) to resolve optical packet contentions. In order to make full use of the LRWCs and the FDLs, a control algorithm is also proposed. Packet loss probability of the proposed switch versus the number of FDLs, the wavelength conversion range, and the number of LRWC groups are evaluated in detail.

Keywords: optical packet switch; recirculation optical buffer; fiber delay line; limited range wavelength converter group
