Abstract
Optical processing with efficient coding is expected in photonic label routing network. We consider optical codes encoded in the time and spectral domains. Wavelength-selective devices are useful for effective processing of such optical codes. In this study, collinear acoustooptic (AO) switches are investigated as a constituent elements of a wavelength selective correlator for optical BPSK codes. It is theoretically shown that the number of optical codes that can be distinguished is 2 Nt-1 , where N t is the bit number of optical pulses. The device can also be used for recognition of codes encoded in time and spectral domains. Crosstalk in code recognition is discussed with numerical analysis considering AO filtering characteristics for optical processing with collinear AO devices.
