摘要:The invention relates to a communications node () for routing an optical signalcomprising at least one data packet, the node () having an input optic fiber () and anoutput optic fiber () in communication with each other, the input optic fiber () in
communication with an optical splitter () which is arranged to split an incoming opticalsignal into at least two substantially identical optical signals, the optical splitter () furtherarranged to pass one of the optical signals to an optical correlator () and the other of theoptical signals to an input optical switch (), the optical correlator () being arranged tocompare an address of the packet with a reference address () and to generate a trigger ifthe reference address () matches the address of the packet, the input optical switch ()being arranged to route the data packet to an optical to electrical converter () in
response to the trigger. Such an arrangement allows individual optical data packets to bedropped from the node as required.
