Abstract
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> We report a bit-rate transparent optical burst switching (OBS) router prototype using a fast 5 <formula formulatype="inline"><tex>$\times$</tex> </formula> 5 PLZT [(Pb,La)(Zr,Ti)O<formula><tex>$_3$</tex></formula>] optical matrix switch. Dynamic switching in a two-wavelength, 2 <formula formulatype="inline"> <tex>$\times$</tex></formula> 2 OBS switch is demonstrated. Contention resolution using a tunable Mach–Zehnder interferometer wavelength converter for both 40- and 10-Gb/s bursts is demonstrated for the first time. Error-free operation was achieved for both bit rates under the same settings, as required in autonomous networks. </para>
