We present a comprehensive approach for the design of adjustable-focus lenses based on the Alvarez principle. The design methodology consists of dividing the lens into two parts: the inner, optical part, where the optical quality is optimized, and the outer, mechanical part, connecting the optical part to the frame. For the optical part, we present a complete optical design methodology to minim...

We investigate the problem of topology design of an optical network by bottleneck-cut identification. For an optical network, the topology-design problem can be viewed as a combined two-layer design problem: physical-topology design and virtual-topology design. In this study, we present the definition of bottleneck cut of an optical network. A heuristic algorithm is proposed to find the bottlen...

In the present paper a novel structure for optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on photonic crystal ring resonator with circular core has been proposed. In order to design the proposed CDF, the plan wave expansion (PWE) method is applied for calculation of band structure and photonic band gap while the transmission characteristics of proposed CDF have been calculated using the finite differe...

In this design an optical ring resonator are embedded between two Horizontal input and output waveguides which has 4 orbitals around the center of the resonator so that each orbital consists of 8 rods with different size in which radius of larger orbitals rods are bigger than radius of smaller orbitals rods. The analysis of simulation results showed the proposed filter has the transmission effi...

In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. In designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. The initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...

Network on chip (NoC) technology has now achieved a mature stage of development as result their use key component in many successful commercial devices. As multiprocessors continue to scale, these ship based electronic networks are more challenging meet power budget communication requirements. Innovative is emerging with the aim offering shorter latencies and greater bandwidth lower consumption...

Compared with the conventional electronic computer, the Ternary Optical Computer (TOC) is the better idea for next generation computing tools because it possesses numerous data bits, enough intercom bandwidth, and inter controller made of electronic computer, but when designing optical calculators in TOC, there is much randomness that bring the manufacture of the optical calculators on lots of ...

The reflectormirror is the most important component of an astronomical optical telescope. This chapter provides discussions on the requirements for astronomical optical mirrors; the ways to reduce mirror weight, mirror cost, and mirror materials; the methods of mirror figuring, polishing, and surface coating; the design of mirror support mechanism; the concept of mirror seeing; and the stray li...
