In this paper, the Optical Burst Switching with Burst Dropping (OBS/BD) technique is proposed to be implemented in an all-optical backbone network to support IP traffic. The OBS/BD is based on two main features: i) several IP packets are assembled in a single macro-packet, called burst; ii) the burst contention in an optical switch is handled by the means of two techniques: the wavelength dimen...

With the growing demand of bandwidth and the development being made in the optical components technology, the IP over DWDM using optical burst switching seems to be the best solution to take advantage of the huge capacity of the fiber and accommodate high traffic of information. In this architecture the optical network is seen as an optical cloud with intelligent edges capable to interpret the ...

In this paper, we propose a round-robin burst assembly and constant burst transmission for optical burst switching (OBS) network. In the proposed method, ingress edge node has multiple buffers where IP packets are stored depending on their egress edge nodes, and bursts are assembled at the buffers in round-robin manner. Moreover, bursts are transmitted at fixed intervals with scheduler. To eval...

Non-volatile, bidirectional, all-optical switching in a phase-change metamaterial delivers high-contrast transmission and reflection modulation at near- to mid-infrared wavelengths in device structures down to ≈1/27 of a wavelength thick.

Integrated InP/InGaAsP phased-array 1x16 optical switch is fabricated and characterized for broadband WDM optical packet switching. Wavelength-insensitive operation covering the C-band and penalty-free transmission of 40-Gbps signal are demonstrated.

We propose a novel optical cloud architecture where IT and Telecom resources are used interchangeably as common infrastructure. Key assets are the MAC controlled passive networks for distributed multiplexing and grooming and a node architecture integrating transmission and switching.

The feasibility of global polio eradication is being questioned as a result of continued transmission in a few localities that act as sources for outbreaks elsewhere. Perhaps the greatest challenge is in India, where transmission has persisted in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar despite high coverage with multiple doses of vaccine. We estimate key parameters governing the seasonal epidemics in these are...

This paper proposes two new soft-switching transformerless converters with high voltage conversion ratio. These proposed converters achieve soft-switching each with a single auxiliary resonant cell. The merit of these converters is reduced switching losses with lesser number of devices. The main switching devices are turned off with zero current switching (ZCS). Apart from the soft-switching fe...
