- Abstract :
We propose and experimentally demonstrate the concurrent generation of an optical code label and
payload data by use of off-the-shelf optical intensity and phase modulators in a tandem structure.
This technique is capable of reconfigurable generation of an arbitrarily long optical code label
of phase-shift keying concurrently with the generation of payload data, without the need for s
special class of optical encoder. This technique will be powerful for all-optical packet switching
networks, based on scalability and compactness, for optical code labels.
