چکیده
We demonstrate a regenerative optical grooming switch for buffer-less interconnection of metro/access and metro/core ring networks with switching functionality in time, space and wavelength domain. Key functionalities of the router are the traffic aggregation with time-slot interchanging (TSI) functionality, the WDM-to-ODTM multiplexing and the OTDM-to-WDM demultiplexing of high-speed channel into lower bit-rate tributaries as well as multi-wavelength all-optical 2R regeneration of several higher-speed signals. BER and Q-factor measurements of different switching scenarios show excellent performance with no error floor and Q-factors above 21 dB.

Interconnected WDM Ring Networks: Strategies for Interconnection and Traffic Grooming*
In telecommunication networks, SONET self -healing rings are widely deployed as transport infrastructure. Typically, multiple rings are interconnected together to provide a large geographical coverage. A typical network-planning problem of traffic grooming deals with packing several TDM sub-channels into high-speed wavelength channels in a WDM ring with the goal of saving SONET equipment usage....
متن کاملDesign 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 کاملMinimizing the Switch and Link Conflicts in an Optical Multi-stage Interconnection Network
Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) are very popular in switching and communication applications. A MIN connects N inputs to N outputs and is referred as an N × N MIN; having size N. Optical Multistage Interconnection Network (OMIN) represents an important class of Interconnection networks. Crosstalk is the basic problem of OMIN. Switch Conflict and Link Conflict are the two main reason ...

متن کاملRouting in All-optical Three Stage-clos Interconnection Networks
Permutation routing is a popular communication pattern in the interconnection networks. Most of the previously proposed routings algorithms on Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) work on 2×2 switches. We considered alloptical rearrangeable permutation routing for Clos Interconnection networks. The signal in the optical switch with the same wavelength will cause the crosstalk problem.In t...
