Based on label stacking principles and coherent detection, we present a two-hop, coherent detected spectral amplitude code (SAC) labeled system to accomplish ultrafast packet forwarding for packet-switched metropolitan area networks. An optical switching network with two forwarding nodes, two 156 Mb/s SAC labels, and 40 Gb/s differential quadrature phase shift keying (DQPSK) payloads is demonstrated by computer simulation. The bit error rate (BER) performances of coherent detected SAC labels and high speed payload over 160 km fiber after two hops transmission are accessed, respectively.
