2. 1. Layered optical networks : implications to switching and transmission

   Author : Stefan Larsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With the aim of supporting and enhancing high-capacitycommunication networks, such as telephony, Internet and others,this work has investigated:· transmission gains withtime-slotted optical communication, · performance ofoptical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs) and optical crossconnects(OXCs), · OXC networks serving Internet Protocol(IP)-routers, · packet hop reductions in IP-controlledoptical networks, · a simple optical neighbour discoverymethod, · economics of complementing a client network withan optical express layer.Time-slotting was shown to enable bi-directionaltransmission at the same frequency and multiwavelengthtransmission over dispersion-shifted fibre.

4. 2. Optical Interconnection Architectures for High-Performance Computers and Switches

   Author : Håkan Forsberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; optical interconnections; switch fabrics; planar integrated free-space optics; high-performance computers; hypercube topology; switches and routers; embedded signal processing;

   Abstract : The incredible growth in processing power and switching capacity in high-performance computers and switches puts very high demands on the interconnection networks. This is recognized in particular in massively parallel processing and extreme switching architectures. The demands are such that new interconnection architectures must be considered. READ MORE

   Abstract : The topic of this thesis is the development of devices for telecom applications based on poled optical fibers. The focus is on a specific function, optical switching/modulation. Some of the most important results are summarized below. Optical switching at telecom wavelengths (1. READ MORE

6. 4. VCSEL Techniques for Wavelength-Multiplexed Optical Interconnects

   Author : Mehdi Jahed; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; silicon photonic integration; vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser; transverse and polarization mode filter; optical interconnect; distributed Bragg reflector.; wavelengthmultiplexing;

   Abstract : The majority of global data communication is taking place within data centers where data is stored and processed and where the largest part of the power used for global networking is consumed. With the rapidly increasing use of Internet-based applications and services, data centers are equipped with a larger number of servers and switches requiring higher bandwidth connectivity. READ MORE
