The misalignment errors and fluctuations in irradiance due to atmospheric turbulence can severely degrade the performance of free-space optical (FSO) systems. In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic bit error rate (BER) performance and diversity orders of FSO links using parallel transmit-diversity schemes. The BER expressions of FSO links with the switch-and-examine transmit (SET), switch-and-examine transmit with post-selection (SETps), dual-branch transmit laser selection (Dual-TLS), and group transmit laser selection (Group-TLS) schemes are derived, based on an approximate channel model. Then numerical simulations for these four schemes in the region of high average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are presented under different channel conditions. The results show that the four transmit-diversity schemes can reduce system complexity and overcome the limitation of peak power, without much BER deterioration.

We have observed the optical bistabilities at $5145{\AA}$ in nonlinear etalons filled with NOA8l optical adhesive which is cured with UV light under the temperature gradient of $7^{\circ}C/mm$ on the NOA81 layer surface. The critical switch-on irradiance and switch-on time are $17\;KW/cm^2$ and $350{\mu}sec$. respectively. The switching contrast of up to 8 observed in NOA81 etalons is higher than that of ZnS or ZnSe interference filter, and the thermo-optic coefficient (dn/ndT) of NOA81 is measured to be at least $-3.8{\times}10^{-4}/^{\circ}C$ which is larger in magnitude than that of ZnS or ZnSe.

실리콘 기판 위에 제작되는 실리카 물질은 낮은 가격, 파이버와의 높은 결합 효율 그리고 고집적화의 장점으로 PLC(Planar Light Circuit)에 사용되고 있다. PLC 광소자 중에서 열 광학 스위치(Thermo-optic switch)는, NⅹN 매트릭스 스위치와 Add／drop multiplexer 등 비교적 낮은 속도를 갖는 광 신호 처리를 위해 중요한 소자이다. 기존의 열 광학 스위치의 경우, 방향성 결합기를 사용한 Mach-Zehnder 구조로써, 위상 제어단에서 두 도파로 간의 광 전력 교환을 막기 위해 방향성 결합기의 양쪽 끝단에에 굽은 도파로를 이용한다.

We propose and demonstrate a novel polarization- and wavelength-independent digital electrooptic switch in $Ti:LiNbO_3$ with switching voltage of ${\pm}$32V at $1.55{\mu}m$ wavelength. This $2{\times}2$ integrated optic switch is characterized by a step-like response to the applied voltage. Switching is achieved through adiabatic mode evolution in an asymmetric waveguide junction. An average insertion loss of ∼4.5dB and polarization independent switching with average crosstalk of -12dB are achieved.

To reduce switch cost, the optimum numbers of tunable wavelength converters (TWCs) and internal wavelengths required for contention resolution of asynchronous and variable length packets like internet traffics, is presented in the optical packet switch (OPS) with the shared fiber delay line (FDL) buffer. To optimize TWCs and internal wavelength related to on OPS design cost, we proposed a scheduling algorithm for the limited TWCs and internal wavelengths. For three TWC alternatives (not shared, partially shared, and fully shared cases), the optimum numbers of TWCs and internal wavelengths to guarantee minimum pocket loss are evaluated to prevent resource waste. Under o given load, TWCs and internal wavelengths could be significantly reduced, guaranteeing the same pocket loss probability as the performance of on OPS with full TWCs and internal wavelengths.

A $1{\times}16$ thermo-optic switch with small excess loss using multimode interference(MMI) couplers is designed, fabricated, and measured. This paper introduces the proposed $1{\times}16$ thermo-optic switch, and discusses the measurement results. The $1{\times}16$ thermo-optic switch is farmed as 4-stage which consists of 15 unit devices. The unit devices are the $2{\times}2$ thermo-optic switches with Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) structure. The characteristics of the $1{\times}16$ thermo-optic switch depends strongly on each unit device. The unit deviceconsists of two 3-dB general interference MMI couplers and two single mode waveguide arms as a phase shifter. First of all, the 3-dB optical splitter and $2{\times}2$ MZI thermo-optic switch have been tested to confirm the characteristics of the unit devices of the $1{\times}16$ MZI thermo-optic switch. Using the measurement results of the unit devices, the $1{\times}16$ MZI thermo-optic switch can be produced with better characteristics. The resultant structure of the MMI coupler with the optical light source of wavelength of 1550nm for the $1{\times}16$ thermo-optic switch is that the width and the optimized length are $25{\mu}m\;and\;1580{\mu}m$, respectively. The smallest excess loss fur the unit device is -0.5dB and the average excess loss is -0.7dB.

Optical burst switching (OBS) overcomes the inefficient resource usage of optical circuit switching and minimizes the optical buffering requirement of optical packet switching. General switch management protocol (GSMP) is an open interface between a label switch and a controller, and it provides connection, configuration, performance, event management and synchronization. GSMP open interface in the OBS network allows the implementation of OBS switch to be simple by separating the data forward plane from the control plane. We defined managed objects to support connection, configuration, performance, and fault management for the management of OBS network in the GSMP open interface. We proposed the network management model, in which the above managed objects are distributed in a controller and an OBS switch according to network management functions. We verified the possibility of connection management using distributed network management model in the GSMP open interface of OBS network by implementing GSMP and network management functions with managed objects of OBS.
