In this paper, we design an optical packet‐switched network with an optical ring resonator (ORR), a delay line decoder (DLD), and an optical address translator (OATR). The ORR can discriminate the header/payload directly in the optical domain. The DLD, together with the optical threshold device, can be used as an optical correlator for the routing control signal. The OATR uses time‐slot‐interchange (TSI) technology to translate the optical address for the next optical switching stages. These optical signal processing techniques can be applied to future high‐speed all‐optical switching networks. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 23: 104–109, 1999.
