Within the context of colorless and multidirectional wavelength routing node, this study illustrates the trade-off in terms of connectivity, total add/drop capacity, and intra-node contention.
We consider provisioning an all-optical crossconnect with a shared pool of regenerators.
We present results on optical crosstalk in the photonic integration platform developed at Fraunhofer HHI.
We employ spectrally filtered amplified spontaneous emission as the signal carrier and matched local oscillator to mitigate optical crosstalk.
A new, low cost version of the ODL(R) 125 Optical Data Link has been developed in response to market needs.
We challenge the current thinking about "Optical Internetworking" by outlining a path to Optical Data Networking that includes multiple data networking protocols and an optical networking infrastru
Optical delay lines have some important applications, notably in optical communication systems and in phase arrays.
Stimulated Brillouin scattering is used as a narrowband amplifier to demodulate and amplify FSK signals at bit rates up to 250 Mb/s.
A semiconductor laser amplifier (SLA) has been employed successfully for optical demultiplexing in two-channel optical time division multiplexed system experiments at 6 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s.
A description of optical dephasing in inorganic glasses is presented which implicates low-energy atomic tunneling systems as the dominant contributor below 1K.
