This paper will review some of the possible photonics technologies that could become an important component of future telecommunications systems.
1. INTRODUCTION: In the past few years photonic switching has taken on several different meanings.
The ACTS project HIGHWAY (AC067) addresses promising ultra-high speed optoelectronic components and system technologies for 40 Gbit/s time-division-multiplexed (TDM) transport systems.
We present results of the IRIS project, a DARPA-MTO funded program to develop a router with an all-optical data plane and a total capacity of more than 100 Tb/s.
The FUNFOX European IST-project exploits photonic crystals and nanophotonic concepts to elaborate functional applications of InP-based devices for metropolitan-area-network applications, among whic
We report transmission experiments in few-mode fibers supporting 6 spatialand polarization modes, where low-loss photonic lanterns are used as mode multiplexers.
