چکیده

Packet-switching characteristics are optimized across an integrated 4 x 4 optical cross-point switch matrix based on active vertical coupler switch cells. Optical gain is demonstrated across the entire matrix with a <3-dB difference between the shortest and longest switching paths.

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...

Performance analysis of new wide-sense nonblocking photonic switching system

The deployment of optical fibers as a transmission medium aroused the problem of speed mismatching between transmission and switching. To build a large IP router with capacity of 1 Tb/s and beyond, either electronic or optical switching can be used. Optical communications with photonic switching are promising to provide high bandwidth and low error probability. The major obstacle in this regard...

SOA Based Photonic Integrated WDM Cross-Connects for Optical Metro-Access Networks

We present a novel optical metro node architecture that exploits the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical cross-connect nodes for interconnecting network elements, as well as computing and storage resources. The photonic WDM cross-connect node based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) allows switching data signals in wavelength, space, and time for fully exploiting statistical m...

Enhanced designs on MEMS L-switching matrix

Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) is one of the few commercial platforms for building optical switches. 2D MEMS L-switching matrix has been introduced recently to double the sizes of 2D MEMS crossbar switches. The sizes of switches are mainly limited by the Gaussian signal loss associated path difference. Though the design of L-switching matrix improves system scalability but it suffers in...
