Polymeric MOEMS variable optical attenuator

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto

In this letter, we take advantage of the high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of a chemically amplified, epoxy-based negative polymer (SU-8) to define a low-power consumption polymeric variable optical attenuator that combines the working principles ...

Complex unltrahigh resolution Fourier domain optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Rainer Leitgeb, Adrian Bachmann

Fourier domain optical coherence tomography (FDOCT) is a high speed imaging technique with high axial resolution in the micro-meter-scale range combined with a high sensitivity allowing to probe 3D volumes of weakly back- scattering biological tissues in-v ...

Ultrafast photonic crystal nanocavity laser

Hatice Altug

Spontaneous emission is not inherent to an emitter, but rather depends on its electromagnetic environment. In a microcavity, the spontaneous emission rate can be greatly enhanced compared with that in free space. This so-called Purcell effect can dramatica ...

Misalignment-tolerant surface-normal low-voltage modulator for optical interconnects

Hatice Altug

We present a surface-normal modulator architecture for optical interconnects that offers misalignment tolerance as well as high contrast ratio over a wide wavelength range for a small drive voltage. A contrast ratio greater than 3 dB was achieved for only ...

Ti:sapphire planar waveguide coherent broadband emitter

René Salathé

Summary form only given. In recent years, broadband fiber interferometers have become very popular as basic instruments used in optical coherence tomography (OCT) for imaging applications in the biomedical field. A major challenge in the further developmen ...

Protection Interoperability for WDM Optical Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Olivier Crochat

The failure of a single optical link or node in a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) network may cause the simultaneous failure of several optical channels. In some cases, this simultaneity may make it impossible for the higher level (SONET or IP) to r ...

New optical star LAN demonstrator based on FDM with an adapted multichannel Ethernet protocol

Philippe Robert, Daniel Rodellar Gomez, Caroline Brisson

This paper presents a new physical layer demonstrator for Optical Local Area Network. It offers a large total capacity to a large number of connected nodes without requiring optical amplifiers and achieves high modularity and scalability. A new multichanne ...

Fault Localisation for optical networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Carmen Mas

A single failure in a communication network may trigger many alarms. When the communication network uses optical fibres as a transmission medium and increases its capacity by using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and Space Division Multiplexing (SDM ...

Design Protection for WDM Optical Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Olivier Crochat

With WDM networks, the failure of a single link or component may cause the simultaneous failure of several optical channels, potentially making impossible the restoration by rerouting in higher layers directly using the optical network (SDH, ATM, IP). To a ...

Shift-multiplexed holographic memory using the two-lambda method

Demetri Psaltis

We present theoretical and experimental results on the application of the two-lambda method for prolonged readout of holographic memories to shift multiplexing implemented with a spherical-wave reference beam. ...
