640 (2 × 32λ × 10) Gbit/s Polarization-Multiplexed, Wide-Colored Optical Packet Switching Achieved by Polarization-Independent High-speed PLZT Switch

We demonstrate 640 (2 x 32λ x 10) Gbit/s polarization-multiplexed, wide-colored optical packet switching by using a polarization-independent and high-speed (<2.5 ns) PLZT optical switch to attain error-free (bit-error-rate<10
^-9
) operation for all 64 payload channels.
