In this work several numerical methods, usually used to obtain the reflectivity spectrum of Bragg gratings, are studied and general conditions required for each method are analyzed and evidenced. The results are validated by comparison with a closed form analytical solution. For gratings where the solution is not evident, Rouard's method was used as the reference solution.

The Du Fort Frankel beam propagation method is an explicit three level scheme that is ideally suited to parallel computing. In the case of media without loss or gain, the scheme is conditionally stable allowing relatively large propagation steps, however in the presence of loss or gain it is always unstable. A stabilised Du Fort Frankel scheme is presented that extends the scope of this powerful method to cover these practically important scenarios.

In transparent optical networks, all data rates and formats can be transmitted simultaneously and the number of transponders, as the main driver of network costs, can be reduced significantly. High flexibility and an effective optical 1:N-protection can be implemented by configurable passive optical add-drop-multiplexers. We performed field experiments to interconnect metropolitan and long haul optical networks transparently.

Summary form only given. "The 1st order of magnitude" - from POTS to DSL (64 kb/s to 512 kb/s) - is today being installed with a speed that exceeds expectations. It is now time to look ahead to "the 2nd order of magnitude" in research and development. This means the step from sub-Mb/s to multi-Mb/s to the end-user, and the corresponding networks. Practically the only driver for this would be video services in some form. The paper reviews the drivers for video services from a basic human and historic perspective. It also examines the bandwidth and service requirements for this "video revolution", and the role optical networks can play. The new image devices are not "stationary targets", so that the existing common perception of "2 Mb/s per image channel" will not be satisfactory for all time. Moreover, delivery will be over a multiplicity of competing media: broadcast, cable, discs, copper, and fibre. Quality and personalisation, both very bandwidth-driving, will be a critical competitive advantage. The role of optics is fundamental, but its role as an independent service-layer is more unclear, and depends on a matching between end-user and business oriented requirements, that must have a direct, technical realisation in the optical layer if the function shall be effectively solved by "all-optical" approaches.

Multi-layer traffic engineering (MTE) dynamically reconfigures the logical network as needed by the changing traffic pattern offered to the network: e.g., in the case of an IP-over-WDM network, the MTE strategy reconfigures the logical IP network. However, only a limited amount of physical resources is available in the underlying flexible network: e.g., each WDM system is able to multiplex a limited number of wavelength channels onto the same fiber. The paper investigates the impact this physical capacity constraint may impose on the performance of such MTE strategies.

We review different implementations of semiconductor devices for all-optical regeneration. A general model is presented for all-optical regeneration in fiber links, taking into consideration the trade-off between non-linearity and noise. Furthermore we discuss a novel regenerator type, based on saturable gain and absorption in a waveguide structure.

Current status of two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PC) slab waveguide technologies and application to a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) has been reviewed. The emphasis is placed on our recent advancement on theoretical design, fabrication and characterization of the 2D-PC-based defect-waveguides such as straight, 60/spl deg/-bend, coupled-cavity waveguides and directional coupler, essential for the PIC application. A research scenario and technical key issues for application to an ultra-fast and ultra-small symmetrical Mach-Zehnder (SMZ)-type all-optical switch are also addressed.

The semi-analytical free space radiation mode (FSRM) method is extended to include analysis of periodic waveguides. The theory of the method is developed for both planar and three-dimensional periodic fibre structures. The results for dispersion curves are obtained and compared with results previously published.

The problem of plane electromagnetic field wave on a cone with periodical slots cut along rulings is considered. The plane wave propagates along the cone axis. It is shown, that electromagnetic problem is equivalent to the solution of the linear algebraic equations system for Fourier coefficients of scattered field components. The numerical algorithm for solving this system is constructed. Coefficients dependence on the conical structure parameters is studied. Slot dimension effect on scattered patterns is investigated for the cone with one slot.

We use coupled-mode theory to model Bragg gratings written in the photosensitive core area of index-guiding air-silica holey fibers. The plane-wave method is used to find the effective refractive indices and the field distributions of the modes. The dependence of the coupling coefficients on factors such as fiber cross-section geometry, area of the doped core and doping level is analyzed.
