Design of an Improved Optical Filter Based on Dual-Curved PCRR for WDM Systems

In this paper, an optical filter based on a two dimensional photonic crystalring resonator (PCRR) with triangular lattice is designed and presented. For thispurpose, the effects of positioning, arrangement and the number of the inner rods of thedual-curved PCRR on the performance characteristics of our optical filter such as thetransmission coefficient and the quality factor have been fully inv...

Automation of Optical Test Equipment using LabVIEW

A blue array of GaN-based μLEDs and a Golden Dragon Plus commercial LED (OSRAM) were analysed under a pulsed current. A LabVIEW program by National InstrumentsTM is used to automate the measurements of the envelope at the top of the pulse at different frequencies. The program allows to save, to plot and to elaborate the data measured. The results, characterised by noise at high frequencies, sho...

Analyzing Power Consumption in Optical Cross-connect Equipment for Future Large-Capacity Optical Networks

We describe a comparative analysis of the power consumption of optical cross-connect (OXC) equipment based on electrical and/or photonic matrix switching, which will be used for future large-capacity optical networks. The switch configurations used for both types of OXCs are also comprehensively discussed. For optical networks that accommodate traffic with a capacity of several Tb/s, the power ...
