In this study, we investigated the technology of optical label recognition for multi-level modulation signals with the aim of realizing a memory-free packet switch. Specifically, we proposed a method to generate an optical signal which shows how far it is like a predetermined code string consisting of QPSK-modulated signals. We fabricated a prototype device of optical label recognition, which is provided by a silicon-based optical waveguide structure. Using this device, we successfully demonstrated the identification for 4-bit QPSK labels, and further demonstrated that the same device can identify labels for optical signals with different modulation schemes. We believe that we have contributed to the establishment of elemental technologies for the memory-free packet switch.
