Recent progress in the development of the optical micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) is reviewed with emphasis on their applications in the field of telecommunications. Both the scientific and the industrial aspects of the components are considered. Different structures are reported and, when necessary, briefly explained showing the main difficulties in development as well as state of the art performance. The possibility of industrialization has gained special interest in our discussion.

In this work we present a new structure based on the use of hollow dielectric waveguides as the guiding medium between the switch nodes (mirrors) for the N/spl times/N optical cross connect switch. The hollow waveguides are designed and fabricated by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) on SOI wafers. The optical performance, measured at the 1550 nm shows propagation loss lower than 0.08dB/mm, a polarization dependant loss PDL less than 0.15 dB and a wavelength dependant loss WDL less than 0.152 dB.

In the present paper, we have investigated the performance of high-speed optical computing devices based on vertical-cavity-surface emitting laser (VCSEL) diodes made of GaAs with and without feedback. The characteristics of performance are the normalized transfer function of harmonic response, the gain overshoot, the resonance frequency, and the 3-dB bandwidth. The effect of the feedback regulator is deeply studied. Thermal physical parameters are considered in deep sense. The investigation is carried out through dimensionless and normalized analysis.

Two-random-access protocols for optical direct-detection code-division multiple access packet networks are proposed. Both system throughput and average packet delay are derived and investigated for two famous receiver models, namely the correlation and chip-level receivers. Our results reveal that the proposed protocols yield competitive system through-put is achieved when using chip-level receivers along with the second protocol. Further, a mathematical description of connection establishment/release of the second protocol is presented using a detailed state diagram. The steady-state system throughput for this state diagram is then derived using a simplified technique. The effect of several design parameters on the above performance measure has been examined with the aid of a set of numerical examples. In our numerical calculations chip-level models have been adopted at the receiver side.

In the present paper, two ultra-wide multiplexing techniques are processed in high-speed optical communication cables for the ultimate bit rate repeater spacing product, namely ultra-wide wavelength division multiplexing (UWWDM) and ultra-wide space-division multiplexing (UWSDM). A parametric "Raman" amplifier is employed plus erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). Four advanced transmission methods are investigated namely modified "Shannon" capacity, soliton propagation, maximum time division multiplexing (MTDM) and nonlinear chirping propagation with squeezed dispersion in single mode-binary glass fiber. 4000 channels are (UWWDM) processed in core up to 150 links (UWSDM).

Current developments in optical components technologies enable wavelengths to be very narrowly spaced, transforming the optical fiber into a multi-terabit capacity medium. A new generation of "all-optical" cross-connects started to appear in the market leading to a number of advantages such as increased switching capacity, decreased overall network costs, scalability and transparency resulting in the capability to support any protocol. An additional advantage is the ability to configure the switching fabric and the wavelength converters in real-time. All-optical switches are made possible by a number of technologies that allow the managing and switching photonic signals without converting them into electronic signals. Only a couple of technologies appear ready to make the transition form the laboratory to the network, where they must support the basic feature set of a carrier-grade, scalable optical switches. Arguably, the leading technology for developing an economically viable, scalable all-optical , OOO switch is the 3D micro-electromechanical system (MEMS). 3D MEMS uses control mechanisms to tilt mirrors in multiple directions (3 dimensional). For the control of optical cross-connects, the MP Lambdas approach was proposed by IETF, according to which the MPLS traffic engineering control plane is used in optical cross connects. In this paper, evolution of architectures for optical cross-connects all optical switch are discussed with different switch fabrics such as micro-electro-mechanical all optical switch fabric and arrayed-wavelength-grating routers (AWGRs). The paper includes also an illustration of the major function of the multi protocol label switching MPLS optical router and the use of MP lambda switch to control the all optical switch.
