Abstract
Optical labelling of data packets enables high router throughputs and hybrid circuit-packet-switched networks. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are key building blocks to implement the various functionalities required for optical label switching. We report on the performance and requirements of SOAs for enabling optical label controlled packet routers.
