A novel resonant cavity enhanced photodetector with asymmetric dual-absorption layer structures that shifts the limitation on bandwidth-efficiency further than is possible in conventional photodetector is proposed. The quantum efficiency and frequency bandwidth are 93% with a lower reflectivity of top mirror, and 88GHz with mesa area for 10µm×10µm, respectively.

We propose a technique to improve the performance of high index contrast Multimode Interference couplers. It is shown that imaging errors can be almost completely removed if the refractive index profile of the multimode region is properly designed. Optimized devices exhibit very low excess losses, power imbalance and phase errors.

Fault-tolerant scheduling is an important issue for optical gird applications because of a wide range of grid resource failures. To improve the availability of the DAGs (directed acyclic graphs), a primary-backup approach is considered when making DAG scheduling decision. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and the practicability of the proposed scheme.

Current trends in communications indicate that multicasting is becoming increasingly popular and important in networking applications. Since multicasting can be supported more efficiently in optical domain by utilizing the inherent light-splitting capacity of optical devices, such as optical splitters, than by copying data in electronic domain, issues concerning running multicast sessions in the all-optical networks have received much attention in recent years. In this paper, different multicasting schemes and their performance in the Optical Packet Switched networks are investigated, including the parallel mode, serial mode, and hybrid mode multicasting schemes. Computer simulation results show that compared with the parallel-mode and serial-mode multicasting schemes, hybrid-mode multicasting scheme is the best way to deliver multicast sessions in the Optical Packet Switched networks due to its highest performance.

Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology is considered to be the ultimate answer to the rapidly growing capacity demand of next generation networks. Many routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms, proposed for lightpath provisioning, base their routing decisions on the availability of network resources, and assume that optical fibers and components are ideal. In reality, physical impairments degrade the quality of the optical signal propagating through fiber segments and optical components. To cope with this problem, Impairment Constraint Based Routing (ICBR) algorithms, that consider physical impairments during connection provisioning, are currently proposed to prevent selecting lightpaths with poor signal quality. However, these algorithms support only a single (highest) quality of transmission threshold, the same one for all connection requests. This does not fit well with the variety of services, with potentially disparate QoS requirements, that the next generation networks are expected to support. Consequently, the efficiency of network resource utilization is reduced. This paper demonstrates that a significant improvement, in terms of blocking probability, can be achieved when using an ICBR algorithm with differentiated physical layer constraints. Performance is compared with conventional impairment aware routing approaches when unprotected, shared path protected (SPP), and dedicated path protected (DPP) connection requests are considered. The achieved improvement is a result of more efficient resource utilization as unnecessary connection blocking can be avoided by selecting network resources offering optical signal quality that is “good enough”good enough to satisfy a specific connection request. to satisfy a specific connection request.

We present fabrication and characterization of 1.3-µm InAs quantum dot (QD) vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) and QD-VCSEL arrays. The continuous-wave (CW) output power of single QD-VCSEL of 1.2 mW with lasing wavelength of 1.28 µm is obtained at room temperature (RT) at a bias current of 15 mA without power saturation. The low threshold current of 1.1 mA can be achieved for the single mode device. We investigate the 3-dB modulation bandwidth of QD-VCSELs with oxide aperture size of 5-µm, 10-µm and 15-µm in the small signal frequency response measurements. Modulation bandwidth of 2.65 GHz is achieved for single-mode QD-VCSEL with oxide aperture size of 5 µm at a bias current of 4.5 mA. The maximum modulation bandwidth of 2.5 GHz can be obtained for multimode QD-VCSEL with oxide aperture size of 10 µm at a bias current of 7 mA. The 61 QD-VCSELs array is also investigated at RT without optimization. Maximum CW output power of 28 mW and pulsed output power of 18 mW are demonstrated for 2-D QD-VCSEL array with threshold current of 50 mA. The far field pattern beam angle of QD-VCSEL arrays at two perpendicular directions are about 18 degree.
