Self-Routing Nonblocking WDM Switches Based on Arrayed Waveguide Grating

Modular AWG-based Optical Shuffle Network

This paper proposes an arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) based wavelength-divisionmultiplexing (WDM) shuffle network. Compared with previous optical shuffle networks, our proposal is compact, easy to implement, highly scalable, and cost effective.

Performance Analysis of WDM Optical Packet Switches with . . .

For lack of optical random access memory, optical fiber delay line (FDL) is currently the only technology to implement optical buffering. Feed-forward and feedback are two types of FDL structures in optical buffering, both have advantages and disadvantages. In this paper, we present a novel architecture for WDM optical packet switches with an effective hybrid FDL buffering that combines the mer...

Scalable, High-Throughput, Low-Latency AWGR-based Optical Switches with Distributed Control Plane for Future Computing Systems

We summarize our research on LION switches exploiting wavelength routing in arrayed waveguide grating routers (AWGRs). We discuss the loopback-buffer, alloptical-NACK and all-optical-TOKEN architectures, presenting their effectiveness in terms of network performance and experimental studies. OCIS codes: (200.4650) Optical Interconnects; (200.6715) Switching.

Design and Performance Evaluation of WDM/TDMA-Based MAC Protocol in AWG-Based WDM-PON

In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol for a passive optical network (PON) employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) with arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs) performing routing functionality at the remote node. In proposed MAC protocol, we employ a Request/Permit based MAC protocol using multipoint control protocol (MPCP). It is simulated using OPNET and their performances are evaluated ...
