Retiming of packet data in the output section is facilitated to reduce the scale of the circuitry. In the input section a packet-data signal and a clock signal for retiming the packet data are wavelength multiplexed by a wavelength multiplexer and transferred over the same optical waveguide of the optical switch. In the output section the packet-data signal and the clock signal, which have been transferred from the same optical waveguide in the packet switch, are demultiplexed by a wavelength demultiplexer, and retiming of the packet-data signal is performed by an intra-device frame terminating unit.

Connection verification and monitoring in optical wavelength multiplexed communications systems

A wavelength demultiplexer for demultiplexing optical signals carrying data, is also used to route a separate monitoring signal on to any of the demultiplexed output paths, by changing the wavelength of the monitoring signal. This enables optical paths through a switching arrangement to be verified or tested. A multiplexer at the output of the switching arrangement may be used to detect which of the output paths of the switching element has the monitoring signal.
