چکیده
We demonstrate a compact optical buffer module, comprising an InP 1×8 phased-array switch and a silica-based delay line circuit. Tunable and uniform buffering of up to 21 ns is obtained with a 3-ns temporal resolution. ©2012 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (130.4815) Optical switching devices; (060.1810) Buffers, couplers, routers, switches, and multiplexers

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks
This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...
متن کاملImproving the optical properties of thin film plasmonic solar cells of InP absorber layer using nanowires
In this paper, a thin-film InP-based solar cell designed and simulated. The proposed InP solar cell has a periodic array of plasmonic back-reflector, which consists of a silver layer and two silver nanowires. The indium tin oxide (ITO) layer also utilized as an anti-reflection coating (ARC) layer on top. The design creates a light-trapping structure by using a plasmonic back-reflector and an an...
متن کاملNew Bounds on the Feedforward Design of Optical Output Buffer Multiplexers and Switches
We focus on non-conflicting construction of an optical multistage feedforward network to emulate the N-to-1 output buffer multiplexer by using switched fiber delay line (SDL). In [1], Y.T. Chen et al. presented a sufficient condition (an upper bound) for the number of delay lines required for such a multiplexer with variable length bursts. In this paper, we first give an improved upper bound. T...
متن کاملPerformance Model of an Optical Switch using Fiber Delay Lines for Resolving Contentions
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that contains only a single FDL for contention resolution. The analytical model derived for the performance of an optical switch based on this buffer is verified using simulations. The analytical model can be utilized with both...
