Stacked optical code label for multicasting in optical packet switching networks.
Stacked optical code (OC) label and its en/decoder based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) are proposed and experimentally demonstrated. This kind of label can carry several nodes' address information simultaneously in optical packet switching networks, so it can be employed in optical multicasting and simplify the node's structure a lot. The en/decoder is fabricated with high precision by our FBG techniques, and the experiment results show that the stacked OC label can support optical multicasting very well.
