Journal ArticleDOI
Optical packet switching and buffering by using all-optical signal processing methods
H.J.S. Dorren,MT Martin Hill,Y Yong Liu,Nicola Calabretta,A. Srivatsa,Frans Huijskens,H. de Waardt,GD Giok-Djan Khoe +7 more
TL;DR: An alternative optical packet routing concept that can be used for all-optical buffering of data packets is presented and an optical threshold function that is based on a asymmetric configuration of two coupled lasers is used to drive a wavelength routing switch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment on the Achievable Throughput of Multi-Band ITU-T G.652.D Fiber Transmission Systems
Alessio Ferrari,Antonio Napoli,Johannes Karl Fischer,Nelson Costa,Andrea D'Amico,Joao Pedro,Wladek Forysiak,Erwan Pincemin,Andrew Lord,Alexandros Stavdas,Juan Pedro Fernandez-Palacios Gimenez,Gunther Roelkens,Nicola Calabretta,Silvio Abrate,Bernd Sommerkorn-Krombholz,Vittorio Curri +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential and challenges of fiber-optic multi-band transmission (MBT) covering the ITU-T optical bands O(rightarrow$ ǫ ) were discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wavelength conversion using nonlinear polarization rotation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier
Y Yong Liu,MT Martin Hill,Eduward Tangdiongga,H. de Waardt,Nicola Calabretta,GD Giok-Djan Khoe,H.J.S. Dorren +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an all-optical wavelength converter based on nonlinear polarization rotation in a single semiconductor optical amplifier is proposed, and experiments show that error-free wavelength conversion can be obtained at a bit rate of 10 Gb/s.
Journal ArticleDOI
1x2 optical packet switch using all-optical header processing
MT Martin Hill,A. Srivatsa,Nicola Calabretta,Y Yong Liu,Huug de Waardt,GD Giok-Djan Khoe,H.J.S. Dorren +6 more
TL;DR: A 1/spl times/2 all-optical packet switch is presented and the header processing is implemented by using a SLALOM structure and an optical flip-flop memory is used to store the processed headers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical signal processing based on self-induced polarization rotation in a semiconductor optical amplifier
Nicola Calabretta,Y Yong Liu,Frans Huijskens,MT Martin Hill,H. de Waardt,GD Giok-Djan Khoe,H.J.S. Dorren +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a self-induced nonlinear polarization rotation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is used to achieve all-optical logic for optical buffering at a bit rate of 10 Gb/s.
