TL;DR: The blocking probability of the proposed scheme is significantly reduced as compared with the general OBS while the additional delay due to the alternative path is smaller than 10% of the basic offset time.
Abstract: Optical burst switching (OBS) is an approach to building very high capacity routing switches based on optical data paths and electronic control. Therefore, OBS is considered as a viable solution in the high-speed optical Internet backbone. In this paper, we propose an intra-class contention resolution scheme in optical burst switching networks by the enhanced alternative routing algorithm. The blocking probability of the proposed scheme is significantly reduced as compared with the general OBS while the additional delay due to the alternative path is smaller than 10% of the basic offset time.

Abstract: This paper describes the technical issues of access and metro networks based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technologies, some solutions, and an experimental demonstration. A WDM star access network with colorless optical network units (ONUs) is proposed. For realizing the colorless ONU, two approaches are introduced; optical carrier supply and spectrum slicing. In addition, a WDM metro ring network with scalable optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs), namely the tapped-type OADM, is proposed to effectively accommodate the large amount of traffic issued from access networks. Prototypes are constructed and used to verify the feasibility of the proposed WDM technologies.

TL;DR: This work experimentally demonstrates an 80 Gbit/s FSO system with a 2×2 aperture architecture, in which each transmitter aperture contains two multiplexed data-carrying OAM modes, indicating that OAM and MIMO-based spatial multiplexing could be simultaneously utilized, thereby providing the potential to enhance system performance.
Abstract: We explore the potential of combining the advantages of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-based spatial multiplexing with those of orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing to increase the capacity of free-space optical (FSO) communications. We experimentally demonstrate an 80 Gbit/s FSO system with a 2×2 aperture architecture, in which each transmitter aperture contains two multiplexed data-carrying OAM modes. Inter-channel crosstalk effects are minimized by the OAM beams' inherent orthogonality and by the use of 4×4 MIMO signal processing. Our experimental results show that the bit-error rates can reach below the forward error correction limit of 3.8×10(-3) and the power penalties are less than 3.6 dB for all channels after MIMO processing. This indicates that OAM and MIMO-based spatial multiplexing could be simultaneously utilized, thereby providing the potential to enhance system performance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent progress and future prospects of PLC technologies including arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexers, optical add/drop multiplexer, programmable dispersion equalizers and hybrid optoelectronics integration technologies.
Abstract: Planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) are waveguide devices that integrate fiber-matched optical waveguides on silicon or glass substrate to provide an efficient means of interaction for the guided-wave optical signals. PLCs provide various important and functional devices for optical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), time division multiplexing (TDM) systems and subscriber networks. This paper reviews the recent progress and future prospects of PLC technologies including arrayed-waveguide grating multiplexers, optical add/drop multiplexers, programmable dispersion equalizers and hybrid optoelectronics integration technologies.

TL;DR: A contention-free new architecture based on optical network on chip, called Optical Ring Network-on-Chip (ORNoC), which is capable of connecting 1296 nodes with only 102 waveguides and 64 wavelengths per waveguide and scales well with both large 2D and 3D architectures.
Abstract: State-of-the-art System-on-Chip (SoC) consists of hundreds of processing elements, while trends in design of the next generation of SoC point to integration of thousand of processing elements, requiring high performance interconnect for high throughput communications. Optical on-chip interconnects are currently considered as one of the most promising paradigms for the design of such next generation Multi-Processors System on Chip (MPSoC). They enable significantly increased bandwidth, increased immunity to electromagnetic noise, decreased latency, and decreased power. Therefore, defining new architectures taking advantage of optical interconnects represents today a key issue for MPSoC designers. Moreover, new design methodologies, considering the design constraints specific to these architectures are mandatory. In this paper, we present a contention-free new architecture based on optical network on chip, called Optical Ring Network-on-Chip (ORNoC). We also show that our network scales well with both large 2D and 3D architectures. For the efficient design, we propose automatic wavelength-/waveguide assignment and demonstrate that the proposed architecture is capable of connecting 1296 nodes with only 102 waveguides and 64 wavelengths per waveguide.
