Optical-router-based dynamically reconfigurable photonic access network

Optical-Router-Based Dynamically Reconfigurable Photonic Access Network

Dynamically Reconfigurable Photonic Crystal Nanobeam Cavities

Wavelength-scale, high Q-factor photonic crystal cavities [1, 2] have emerged as a platform of choice for on-chip manipulation of optical signals, with applications ranging from low-power optical signal processing [3] and cavity quantum electrodynamics [4, 5] to biochemical sensing. Many of these applications, however, are limited by the fabrication tolerances and the inability to precisely con...

Service Delivery Aspects in a Reconfigurable Photonic Access Network

We discuss service delivery aspects in a reconfigurable photonic access network. The network is viewed as a stack of logical PONs in which a DWDM overlay is used over TDM PONs operating in their native format. The use of optical routers in the network allows for a dynamic change in the network topology to optimize the bandwidth delivery to end users. The issues related to providing services to ...

five-port optical router design based on mach–zehnder switches for photonic networks-on-chip

we design and simulate a five-port optical router, which is composed of twenty mach-zehnder-based switching elements and twelve waveguide crossings for use in integrated photonic interconnection networks. we simulated and analyzed the operation of the proposed optical router from the aspects of insertion loss, power budget, q-factor and the minimum bit error ratio by use of optisystem simulator...
