proving to be a powerful separation technique. Electrochemical (EC) methods offer significant advantages over classical spectroscopic techniques for CE separations because electrochemistry occurs directly at an electrode surface and, thus, the limits of detection are not compromised by the small dimensions inherent in CE. This is in contrast to spectrophotometric detectors, in which the signal ...

wileyonlinelibrary.com detectivity of extrinsic photoconductive detectors depends on the ratio of optical carrier generation to thermal carrier generation. Traditionally, extrinsic silicon photodetectors have been limited by either high thermal impurity ionization or low optical carrier generation due to low absorption of sub-band gap radiation. Commonly used group III or V dopants (B, Al, Ga, ...

The Source Path Isolation Engine (SPIE) is a system capable of tracing a single IP packet to its point of origin or point of ingress into a network. SPIE supports tracing by storing a few bits of unique information about each packet for a period of time as the packets traverse the network. Software implementations of SPIE can trace packets through networks comprised of slow to medium speed rout...

Abstract – The Internet is rapidly growing in number of users, traffic levels, and topological complexity. At the same time it is increasingly driven by economic competition. These developments render the characterization of network usage and workloads more difficult, and yet more critical. Few recent studies have been published reporting Internet backbone traffic usage and characteristics. At ...

Experiences with measuring high-bandwidth telecommunications traffic are described. This work has occurred as part of the WAND project which aims to provide large and reliable teletraffic traces. It is argued that to achieve this, special purpose hardware as well as careful attention to the details of measurement are required. The design of a series of measurement boards operating up to OC-48 i...

Optical data extinction using ultra-long SOA is evaluated up to 56 Gb/s. The analysis of the deleterious effects such as spectral broadening and imperfect erasing predicts useful carrier wavelength reuse up to 20 Gb/s. Keywords—Optical Carrier reuse, Optical Data Processing, Semiconductor Optical Amplifier.

We present an overview of the design of event building in the BABAR Online, based upon TCP/IP and commodity networking technology. BABAR is a high-rate experiment to study CP violation in asymmetric ee collisions. In order to validate the event-builder design, an extensive program was undertaken to test the TCP performance delivered by various machine types with both ATM OC-3 and Fast Ethernet ...

A new microphotonic mm-wave receiver architecture with direct electrical-to-optical conversion is presented. The receiver uses high-Q RF and microphotonic electro-optic resonator components which are operated in simultaneous resonance. Initial results demonstrating modulation of an optical carrier at RF in the mm-wave range are reported .

In this paper we present results of a series of bandwidth estimation experiments conducted on a high-speed testbed at the San Diego Supercomputer Center and on OC-48 and GigE paths in real world networks. We test and compare publicly available bandwidth estimation tools: abing, pathchirp, pathload, and Spruce. We also tested Iperf which measures achievable TCP throughput. In the lab we used two...
