Packet-by-packet all-optical burst-mode 3R regeneration in an optical-label switching router

This paper demonstrates 10 Gb/s packet-by-packet burst-mode optical 3R regeneration in an optical-label switching router, achieving bit-error-rates below 1/spl times/10/sup -9/ with the guard time ranging from 50 to 1000 ns despite clock-phase discontinuity between packets.
