Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC) is a promising emerging technology, which can solve the bottlenecks faced by electrical on-chip interconnection. However, the existing proposals of ONoC are mostly built on fixed topologies, which are not flexible enough to support various applications. To make full use of the limited resource and provide a more efficient approach for resource allocation, RONoC (R...

The load-balanced switch architecture is a promising way to scale router capacity. We explained in [1] how it can be used to build a 100Tb/s router with no centralized scheduler, no memory operating faster than the line-rate, no packet missequencing, a 100% throughput guarantee for all traffic patterns, and an optical switch fabric that simply spreads traffic evenly among linecards. This switch...

We propose an ultra-broadband full-mesh wavelength router supporting the T- and O-bands using 3 stages of cascaded arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs). The router architecture is based on a combination of waveband and channel routing by coarse and fine AWGs, respectively. We fabricated several T-band-specific silica-based AWGs and quantum dot semiconductor optical ampliers as part of the router, ...

We review the first InP monolithic tunable optical router chip, consisting of eight wavelength converters and an 8x8 AWGR. The device integrates more than 200 functional elements and operates at 40 Gbps per port. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (250.5300) Photonic integrated circuits; (060.1155) All-optical networks

This paper describes experimental and simulation results of the optical packet experimental routing architecture (OPERA) project. The OPERA network is based on a novel optical network interface router design that is optically regenerative and supports optical internet protocol related functions including label swapping, packet routing and forwarding operations and wavelength reuse. Routing is b...

This paper investigates contention resolution schemes for optical packet switching networks from an end-to-end perspective, where the combined exploitation of both core routers and edge routers are highlighted. For the optical-core network, we present the architecture of an optical router to achieve contention resolution in wavelength, time, and space domains. Complementing the solution involvi...

Optical network uses a tool for routing called Latin router. These routers use particular algorithms for routing. For example, we can refer to LDF algorithm that uses backtracking (one of CSP methods) for problem solving. In this paper, we proposed new approached for completion routing table (DRA&CRA algorithm) and compare with pervious proposed ways and showed numbers of backtracking, blocking...
