Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as refer...

A novel phase modulation system based on an alloptical approach for integrated interferometric devices is presented. This method provides real-time linear phase read-out for highly sensitive, label-free and user-friendly biosensing applications oriented to a Lab-on-Chip final implementation.

As an important pipeline stage in the router of Network-on-Chips, switch allocation assigns output ports to input and allows flits transit through without conflicts. Previous work designed efficient strategies by maximizing matching efficiency time series. However, those works neglected interaction between different stages. In this article, we propose concept Utility-of-Allocation (UoA) indicat...

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.

All optical buffering within high-speed optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) based networks is becoming a necessity. In this paper, an active all-optical recirculating fibre loop buffer (RFLB) employing an alloptical regenerator to compensate for pulse distortion is introduced. The OTDM pulse shape is soliton and the data rate used is 20 Gb/s. Simulation results for the bit error rate (BER...
