Abstract: A novel packet switching adopting in-band multi-wavelength optical label is introduced,in which optical header is labeled by several optical pulses at different wavelengths in the same optical communication channel band as optical payload.The switching fundamental and its implementation techniques,including optical transmitter with header generation and packet formation,receiver with data restoration and switching node with route processing,are described.A simplified experiment demonstrated the switching principle.
