Asymmetric bilayered ShuffleNet topology is used to implement the WDM cross-connects as central hubs. The advantage of the implementation is the reduction of the total number of WDM cross connects required by a half, the average number of hops, and average delay.

We propose a new structure of optical cross connect based on a WDM MUX/DEMUX pair and switchable mirrors. In experiment, we demonstrate the operation of the optical cross connect using an optical fiber loop mirror connected to a $2\times2$ optical switch as a switchable mirror.mirror.

Technology development toward the use of LiNbO3-based acoustic tunable filters as WDM 2$\times$2 cross-connect switches is reviewed. Recenly, it was found that a fundamental behavior of multi-wavelength Bragg scattering critically affects the crosstalk performance of the acousto-optic tunable filter. We revuew serveral reported methods of overcoming the performance degradation. We will eventually ask whether the device is up to task of WDM optical switching.

In a switch routing system, buffers are indispensible to prevent signal collision during routing process. For a photonic switching system, optical buffers are also indispensible if the system requires an active routing rather than a simple optical cross-connect(OXC). To cope with WDM technologies in optical comminication systems in these days, photonic switching system also has to deal with WDM signals. Therefore, optical buffers needed in a switching system has to be routed to the same output. For the receiver to recognize these signals separately, parallel WDM signals during rearrangement process. In this paper, we propose a novel all optical WDM output buffer whose structure, hardware, SNR and BER characteristics are improved a lot comparing with those of previously reported ones. From the analysis of the proposed buffer, the new buffer can hold 255 WDM cells keeping BER of 10-9 as long as a contrast ratio(gain on-off ratio) of optical gate(semiconductor optical amplifier) nside the buffer is 30dB.

With the development of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) systems, an efficient integration of IP and WDM has been focused. The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) proposes a new model that is called Overlay model for the integration of IP and WDM. In the Overlay model, UNI 1.0 signaling is adopted to establish signaling interface between Optical and IP network. UNI 1.0 signaling consists of a lot of functions; especially, reliability, light traffic, and etc. For that reason, Srefresh and ACK messages in UNI signaling support reliable messaging and reduce the amount of information that must be transmitted and processed in order to maintain RSVP states and processing time. This paper focuses on an implementation of Srefresh and ACK messages based on UNI 1.0 signaling and comparison between before and after implementing. The results show that Srefresh and ACK messages improve intelligence in the control plane of the optical network, which will make them more survivable, flexible, reliable, and controllable.

재구성이 가능한 광 크로스-커넥트(optical cross connect)는 전광 네트워크를 구성하기 위한 핵심소자 중의 하나이다. 일반적인 구조의 파장분배기는 공간분할 스위치(space division switch)를 두 쌍의 파장 다중화기(multiplexer)와 역다중화기(demultiplexer)의 가운데에 삽입하여 구현된다$^{(1)}$ . 최근에, 광섬유 브래그 격자와 광스위치 쌍을 직렬 연결하여 재구성이 가능한 광 크로스-커넥트가 제안되었다$^{(2)}$ . 그러나, 이 구조는 광신호에 따라 광섬유 브래그 격자에 반사되면서 겪는 광스위치에 의한 삽입손실이 다르다는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 한 쌍의 파장 다중화기/역다중화기와 파장가변 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용한 새로운 구조의 광 크로스-커넥트를 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 제안된 구조는 일반적인 구조의 파장분배기에 비해 파장 다중화기/역다중화기의 개수를 반으로 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다.

All-optical network provede unlimited for bandwidth, the very low bit error rate, and the transparency to IP. Optical networks promise to be the next generation networks that can meet the higher bandwidth demands. However, the number of wavelengths is often not large enough to help a large amount of nodes. The blocking by wavelength contention can be reduced by wavelength conversion, which can't perfectly resolve all situations. Because of that, a lot of groups have proposed unique wavelength assingment algorithms and protocols. Most schemes don't support the priority concepts. This paper describes the unique priority scheme based on the throughput. In this paper, we apply our priority scheme to SWAP(Simple Wavelength Assignment Protocol) and show the performance of the proposed priority scheme. Our proposed priority scheme can be a better solution to solve an important problem about the blocking by wavelength contention into WDM optical networks.
