Operation and maintenance (OAM) in optical burst switching (OBS) networks has not yet been addressed even though OBS has been gaining research interest in recent years. In this paper, we defined five OBS functions such as Burst Termination (BT), Burst Transmission (BTX), Burst Switching (BSW), Routing and Switching Control (RSC), and Protection and Restoration (PAR). A functional model for OBS networks and an OAM architecture are designed to meet the operational requirements. We present the first framework to realize OAM in OBS networks, including OAM activities, OAM-capable OBS nodes such as ingress edge, core, and egress edge nodes, OAM information and communication models and protocols. A number of examples of possible network failures are pointed out and the corresponding reactions to these using the proposed OAM architecture are presented.

Optical bounce during switching in the fringe field switching (FFS) mode using a liquid crystal (LC) with positive dielectric anisotropy has been observed. According to the analysis, it occurs at two positions which are center and edge of the pixel electrode, which decreases decaying response time. The former is major and mainly associated with increase in twist angle instantaneously during switching off resulted from decrease in tilt angle near by LC molecules at center. This paper discusses the origin of such optical bounces.

In this paper, a new real-time optical image switching system based on the phase-typed BPEJTC is suggested. The phase filter mask which has the arbitrary position mapping function between input and output planes is constructed by using the modified JTPS of the BPEJTC. Then, the input image is convolved with this phase filter mask in the spatial frequency domain and through further Fourier transform the input image is switched to the new positions in the output correlation plane where the correlation peaks are occurred. And, based on the computer simulation results, the practical optical switched to the new positions in the output correlation plane where the correlation peaks are occurred. And, based on the computer simulation results, the practical optical switching system is opto-digitally constructed and through some experiments on image switching the possiblity of real-time implementation of the multiple optical image switching system by using the BPEJTC is suggeste.

In this paper, we propose an in-plane switching (IPS) mode for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) that, in principle, is free of retardation of the LC cell. Basically, the optical configuration of the LC cell consists of an A-plate and an LC layer for switching between the dark and bright states. We could achieve a fast response time compared with the conventional in-plane LC cell because the free retardation condition of the proposed LC cell enables us to reduce the cell gap even by quarter-wave retardation without any change of the optimized LC material in the transmissive mode. Experiments for verification of the proposed in-plane switching LC cells have shown a significant reduction of the rising time and falling time simultaneously due to the small cell gap. Furthermore, we also proposed an optical configuration for wide viewing property of the retardation free IPS LCD by applying the optical films. We proved the wide-view property of the retardation free IPS LCD by comparing its optical luminance with the calculated optical property of the conventional IPS LCD.

Optical switching will be applied in datacenter networks because electronic switching is costly and power-consuming. In this paper, considering the ring-based interconnection using optical switching in the core of a datacenter, we study the home circuit (HC) construction for the labeled optical burst switching with home circuit (LOBS-HC), a new paradigm trying to share wavelengths among the HCs from the same source. In particular, aiming to construct HCs dynamically and properly, a scheme named optimal path matching and symmetric HC matching (OPM-SHM) is proposed. The main idea of OPM-SHM is to dynamically construct HCs by sharing wavelength(s) not only among the same-source HCs but also with symmetric HCs which have different sources other than the original LOBS-HC features. The simulation results demonstrate that OPM-SHM achieves better performance than some other methods in terms of burst loss rate and wavelength utilization of physical links. More specially, it maintains good load balancing for the datacenter network using an LOBS-HC ring. In addition, due to the symmetric feature of SHM, the proposed scheme can decrease the upper bound of the average hop count of the routing paths to half of the ring size.

Four types of three-waveguide optical switches are analyzed by measns of the coupled mode theory. Assuming that three proximate waveguides of an optical switch are identical and equally spaced, we examine the switching behavior for both cases where an incident beam is launched into 1) the outer waveguide, 2) the center waveguide. For each beam-launching case, switching voltage is applied so that three waveguides refractive indices be detuned 1) symmetric, 2) anti-symmetric. It is concluded that only three types of optical switches out of four an perform the switching operation. We derive the switching conditions for ach of three possible types and draw the corresponding switching diagrams.

There is a growing need for optical communication systems that convert large volumes of data to optical signals and that accommodate and transmit the signals across long distances. Digital optical communication consists of a master unit (MU) and a slave unit (SU). The MU transmits data to SU using digital optical signals. However, digital optical units that are commercially available or are under development transmit data using two's complement representation. At low input levels, a large number of SSOs (simultaneous switching outputs) are required because of the high rate of bit switching in two's complement, which thereby increases the power noise. This problem reduces the overall system capability because a DSP (digital signal processor) chip (FPGA, CPLD, etc.) cannot be used efficiently and power noise increases. This paper proposes a change from two's complement to a more efficient method that produces less SSO noise and can be applied to existing digital optical units.

In this paper, the development specification of the optical burst switching system (OBS) for next generation internet services is presented. The development specification includes the number of input/output nodes, the number of wavelengths, buffer capacity, the capacity/queue size of the controller and maximum burst assembly delay. From the performance parameters related to the OBS design, an mathematical model to maximize the throughput and minimize the data loss is presented, and then efficient heuristic algorithm is also presented to analyze the sensitivity of the system parameters.
