Title: “Frame Loss Evaluation of Optical Layer 10 Gigabit Ethernet Protection Switching using PLZT Optical Switch System”

Authors: Satoru Okamoto, Sho Shimizu, Yutaka Arakawa, and Naoaki Yamanaka

Abstract: Frame loss of the optical layer protection switching using Plum bum Lanthanum Zirconium Titanium (PLZT) optical switch is evaluated. Experimental results show that typically 62us guard time is required for commercially available non-burst mode 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules.
