New optical signal processing techniques have been demonstrated that enable routing at bit rates from 10 Gbis to beyond 40 Ghis. In this article we review these signal processing techniques and how all-optical wavelength converter technology can he used to implement packet switching functions. Specific approaches that utilize ultra-fast all-optical nonlinear fiber wavelength converters and monolithically integrated optical wavelength converters are discussed and research results prcsented.
