An optical packet switching apparatus includes an optical switch unit for switching the route of a received optical packet signal and output the received optical packet signal, and an optical switch control unit for extracting destination information from the received optical packet and generating a control signal for the optical switch unit according to the destination information. The optical switch control unit includes a clock generator for generating a plurality of local clocks of different phases, and a clock selector for selecting a local clock having the smallest phase difference with the received optical packet from the plurality of local clocks. The optical switch control unit generates the control signal using the local clock selected by the clock selector as an operation clock. |
