Ultra-high speed OTDM networks require stable and compact all optical switches for demultiplexing and routing. In this paper we investigate the noise and crosstalk characteristics of all optical symmetric Mach-Zehnder (SMZ) switch using a numerical model. Two effects, the relative intensity noise (RIN) and channel crosstalk (CXT) that degrade the performance of the switch are investigated. Nume...

We propose a most economical design of the Optical Shared MemOry Supercomputer Interconnect System (OSMOSIS) all-optical, wavelength-space crossbar switch fabric. It is shown, by analysis and simulation, that the total number of on-off gates required for the proposed N × N switch fabric can scale asymptotically as N ln N if the number of input/output ports N can be factored into a product of sm...

A 2×2 high contrast ratio optical switch composed of holographic optical switching elements is presented. This switch consists of two electro-optic halfwave plates, four layers of holographic gratings, two dielectric substrates, and one spacer. The contrast ratio can be higher than 54 dB. The contrast ratio improvement of this device is the same as a dilated optical switch. Key-words: Holograph...

this paper presents design and construction of an automatic moldboard profilograph by substituting an optical sensor and a control system together with its evaluation. the modified profilograph is an electro mechanical apparatus in which a micro switch and a dc motor was replaced with an optical sensor and a control system for revolution of a dc motor. thereby, the considered surface is measure...

We investigate the optical response of a hybrid electro-optomechanical system interacting with qubit. In our experimentally feasible system, tunable all-optical-switching, double-optomechanically induced transparency (OMIT) and optomechanically absorption (OMIA) can be realized. The proposed is also shown to generate anomalous dispersion. Based on theoretical results, we provide switch between ...

In this paper, the optical composite burst switching (OCBS) technique is proposed to be implemented in an all-optical backbone network to support Internet protocol (IP) traffic. The OCBS is based on two main features. First, several IP packets are assembled in a single macropacket, called burst. Second, the burst contention in an optical switch is handled by means of two techniques, the wavelen...
