چکیده
In this paper, we describe optical component and device technologies we have developed for next-generation photonic networks that achieve high tunability, high-speed transmission, and low power consumption. These include three-dimensional optical MEMS switches, acousto-opic tunable filters (AOTFs), lithium niobate optical modula-tors, and semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers.

Advanced Optical Components for Next Generation Photonic Networks
Future networks will require very high throughput, carrying dominantly data-centric traffic. The role of Photonic Networks employing all-optical systems will become increasingly important in providing scalable bandwidth, agile reconfigurability, and low-power consumptions in the future. In particular, the self-similar nature of data traffic indicates that packet switching and burst switching wi...
