Next-generation IP, ATM, and MPLS routers will rely on optical switch fabrics to overcome cost, power, space and scalability problems that arise in growing traditional electrical backplanes into th
Next-generation switches and routers may rely on optical switch fabrics to overcome cost, power, space and scalability problems that arise in sizing traditional electrical backplanes into the terab
Within recent years, there has been a significant amount of interest in applying the new and developing photonics technology for telecommunications switching.
We review the recent achievements done in optical slot switched technology using silicon-based photonic integrated circuit.
Forthcoming capacity scaling requirements of optical networks and advances in optical fiber communications beyond the omnipresent single-mode fiber operating over the conventional band introduces n
In this chapter we focus on the emerging core optical transport layer in the communication hierarchy, on optical layer cross-connects and the role they are beginning to serve in managing bandwidth
The first two books in this series are composed of chapters loosely organized into a volume on structural and resonance techniques and one on optical techniques.
The last few years have witnessed rapid advances in optical technologies and techniques for high-speed fiber transmission that have resulted in record-setting capacity-distance products and highly
Optical technologies are investigated that allow for implementing converged optical metro-access infrastructures that can be used by multiple operators and services simultaneously and be flexibly r
Several academic and industrial organizations are developing displays based on organic electroluminescent (OEL) materials.
