Computational Bit Error Rate Analysis of an Alloptical Packet Switch Employed on Recirculation Fiber Loop Buffer

Abstract

Optical data storage with fiber loop and ultra-fast optical switching with nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) have been regarded as an ideal all-optical processing device respectively. In this paper, optical loop buffer combined (OLB) with the NOLM switch devices have been integrated to provide an efficient buffering-switching device to curb the signal contention. Various limitations using the proposed device have been analyzed in order to obtain an error-free process for the maximum rounds of buffering circulations.
