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...
متن کاملCompact optical switch using phase-change material for transparent photonic network
We have fabricated optical switches using Si waveguides and phase-change material. The switch is based on an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and thin film Ge2Sb2Te5 is deposited onto the Si waveguides. We observe the change in transmission spectra of the switch by laser pulse irradiations repeatedly. The phase change of the Ge2Sb2Te5 film with only 1-μm-square is sufficient for π-phase ...
متن کاملAn all-optical, non-volatile, bidirectional, phase-change meta-switch.
Non-volatile, bidirectional, all-optical switching in a phase-change metamaterial delivers high-contrast transmission and reflection modulation at near- to mid-infrared wavelengths in device structures down to ≈1/27 of a wavelength thick.
متن کاملOptical solitons in a silicon waveguide.
We observe, for the first time to our knowledge, the formation of optical solitons inside a short silicon waveguide (only 5 mm long) at subpicojoule pulse energy levels. We measure a significant spectral narrowing in the anomalous-dispersion regime of such a waveguide, in contrast to all previous reported experiments. The extent of spectral narrowing depends on the carrier wavelength of input p...
متن کاملBiodegradable Material Featuring Embedded Silicon-on-Silk
University have developed an approach of integrating single crystalline silicon electronics, made out of nanomembranes, into silk that is both biocompatible and absorbable by the body. This can lead to the introduction of monitors and therapeutic devices into spaces where traditional electronics cannot function safely. The small size of the thin silicon circuits avoids adverse biological reacti...
