We demonstrate a cost-effective bidirectional WDM self-healing ring network using wavelengthinterleaved bidirectional add/drop amplifier modules. The measured restoration time was less than 10 ms. Recently, bidirectional WDM self-healing ring (SHR) networks based on bidirectional transmission have been proposed [1]-[3]. In these networks, each node should be implemented by using a bidirectional...

Ultra-small all-optical switches are of importance in highly integrated optical communication and computing networks. However, the weak nonlinear light-matter interactions in natural materials present an enormous challenge to realize efficiently switching for the ultra-short interaction lengths. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a submicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switch with an a...

This Paper focused on Buck/Boost Rectification by Single Phase Matrix Converter with fewer numbers of switches. The conventional matrix converter consists of 4 bidirectional switches, i.e. 8 set of IGBT/MOSFET with anti parallel diodes. In this proposed matrix converter, only six switches are used. The switch commutation arrangements are also carried out in this work. The gate pulses to the swi...

The Matrix converter is a forced commutated Cyclo-converter with an array of controlled semi conductor switches that connects directly the three phase source to the three phase load. The matrix converter is a direct AC-AC Converter. It has no limit on output frequency due to the fact that it uses semiconductor switches with controlled turn-off capability. The simultaneous commutation of control...

In this paper, a new bidirectional buck-boost dc-dc converter with capability of soft switching and zero input current ripple is proposed. The coupled inductor is used in the proposed converter to eliminate the input current ripple. In the proposed converter, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) can be obtained for the main and auxiliary switches, respectively. In addit...

Scalability of Cluster-Computers utilizing Gigabit-Ethernet as an interconnect is limited by the unavailability of scalable switches that provide full bisectional bandwidth. Clos’ idea of connecting small crossbar-switches to a large, non-blocking crossbar – wide-spread in the field of high-performance networks – is not applicable in a straightforward manner to Ethernet fabrics. This paper pres...

This paper proposes a novel topology of multilevel current source inverter which is suitable to apply in low/medium voltage. The proposed topology is capable of producing desirable bidirectional output current levels. Furthermore, it can employ symmetrical DC current sources as well as asymmetrical ones which is a significant advantage. Asymmetrical mode makes it possible to generate a great nu...
