Optical signal processing apparatus for processing packetised optical signals comprising a probe signal generator which is arranged to issue a plurality probe pulses, and an optical AND logic gate assembly, the arrangement of the apparatus being such that, in use, the probe signals have an interval between pulses substantially equal to the interval between data elements of the packetised data to be extracted, and the packetised data and the probe pulses are then combined by the AND logic gate assembly.
