Polymer-based Large Core Optical Splitter for Multimode Optical Networks

Bidirectional Optical Power Measurement for High Performance Polymer Optical Fiber-based Splitter for Home Networking

This research focuses on fabrication of 1 by 12 multimode polymethyl methacrylate based step-index polymer optical fiber (PMMA SI-POF). This home-made bundled-fiber splitters have been fabricated by a Distinctive technique. There several systems available on the market, which able to split or couple optical signals transmitted into some different channels, which are all afflicted with certain d...

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks

This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...

Right choice for optical bus interconnect: metallic-hollow-core- waveguides or multimode polymer waveguides?

The performance of metallic-hollow-core-waveguides (MHCWs) and multimode polymer waveguides (MMPWs) are numerically evaluated using ray-tracing method for complex board level optical interconnects systems such as optical bus. Based on an ideal model neglecting the wave-guide surface roughness, we find that MHCWs will provide lower optical loss for small curvature bending waveguides, 45 deg micr...

Neutron optical beam splitter from holographically structured nanoparticle-polymer composites.

We report a breakthrough in the search for versatile diffractive elements for cold neutrons. Nanoparticles are spatially arranged by holographical means in a photopolymer. These grating structures show remarkably efficient diffraction of cold neutrons up to about 50% for effective thicknesses of only 200   μm. They open up a profound perspective for next generation neutron-optical devices with ...
