本論文主要研究是全光標籤交換技術，並利用全光標籤交換技術實現高速全光封包交換網路路由器。在論文中也詳細地討論與比較各項全光標籤交換技術。本論文包含了模擬與實驗結果。
在實驗部份，我們實際量測雙訊號四波混合波長轉換之各項轉換特性參數。在靜態量測方面，轉換效率與訊號對背景雜訊比分別為-9dB與28dB。在動態量測方面，在標籤與酬載功比值為5dB下，標籤與酬載功率償付分別為0.38dB與1.51dB，這些結果更証明我們的提出全光路由器架構極具可行性。
在模擬部份，我們利用 模擬軟體針對雙訊號四波混合波長轉換之各項轉換特性加以模擬，並將參數最佳化，與實驗值相當吻合。

This thesis aims to investigate the all-optical label swapping (AOLS) techniques and propose an optical packet router using the AOLS technique. We first provide a comprehensive review on prior AOLS techniques for optical packet routers (OPR). The content of this thesis includes simulation and experimental results.
We experimentally demonstrate the dual-signal four wave mixing based wavelength conversion (FWM-WC) in a SOA and measure the conversion characteristics, such as conversion efficiency (CE), signal to background noise ratio (SBR), bit error rate (BER), and power penalty. In static measurements, the best CE and SBR are -9dB and 28dB, respectively. In dynamic measurements, we can obtain the power penalty of payload and label as low as 0.38dB and 1.51dB, respectively when the payload to label power ratio is 5dB. These results verify that the proposed OPR is feasible for practical applications.
We also simulate the performance for the dual-signal FWM-WC by using the VPI Transmission MakerTM 6.0 software. From simulating various conversion parameters, which are similar to the values for our experiments, we can obtain the optimized conversion parameters. Therefore, the simulated results are very consistent with our experimental results.
