Transparent Optical Switches: Technology Issues and Challenges

Opaque and Transparent Networking

3 results of this exercise tend to indicate that core mesh networks will remain opaque for some time. This column then explores the potential opportunity for cost reduction and scalability by introducing transparent switches in opaque networks. However, several challenges, both in technology and in network architecture, will have to be addressed before one can achieve the potential benefits of ...

Robust Lyapunov-based Control of MEMS Optical Switches

In this paper, a robust PID control scheme is proposed for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) optical switches. The proposed approach is designed in a way which solves two challenging and important problems. The first one is successful reference tracking and the second is mitigating the system nonlinearities. The overall system composed of nonlinear MEMS dynamics and the PID controller is ...

A Neural Network for Simultaneously Reconstructing Transparent and Opaque Surfaces

This paper presents a neural network (NN) to recover threedimensional (3D) shape of an object from its multiple view images. The object may contain non-overlapping transparent and opaque surfaces. The challenge is to simultaneously reconstruct the transparent and opaque surfaces given only a limited number of views. By minimizing the pixel error between the output images of this NN and teacher ...
