Performance modeling of optical-burst switching with fiber delay lines

We develop analytical models to evaluate the performance of optical-burst switch (OBS) architectures employing fiber delay lines (FDLs) as optical buffers to reduce burst-loss probability. The performance of such architectures cannot be captured accurately using traditional queueing models, since FDLs behave fundamentally differently from conventional electronic buffers. We formulate a Markovian model to evaluate the system performance when the burst-arrival process is Poisson and the burst lengths are exponentially distributed under an idealized model of FDL behavior. The model accurately captures both the balking and deterministic delay properties of FDLs, but the complexity of the model makes it infeasible for solving problems of practical interest. By considering approximations of the model in the regimes of short and long FDLs, we develop relatively simple closed-form expressions that can be used for dimensioning OBS architectures. We also extend the approximate model to include the impact of FDL delay granularity. We present numerical results that validate our modeling approach and demonstrate that significant performance gains in optical-burst switching are achievable when FDLs are employed as optical buffers.     

Computer-aided analysis of solid-state analog delay lines using conventional circuit analysis programs

A method is described for analyzing the two-dimensional behavior of minority carriers in a solid-state analog delay line by applying, without modification, existing computer-aided circuit analysis programs to a lumped model. Development of the model in two dimensions is based on an approximate solution of the minority carrier partial differential equation using an analogous electrical network. The model includes injecting and collecting junction nonlinearities and thereby permits the study of responses to arbitrary external excitations. Several examples of the use of the model are given.     

Intensity noise of semiconductor laser diodes in fiber optic analog video transmission

This paper presents an investigation of the effects of laser diode noise on analog video transmission in the HF and VHF bands, which resulted in the development of several designs of graded-index multimode fiber systems that can ignore reflection induced laser noise. The contents of the investigation include: 1) The evaluation of intrinsic laser noise of various laser structures and the evaluation of modulation effects on laser diode noise characteristics. It was found that the relative intensity noise (RIN) is less than -145 ∼ -150 [dB/Hz] when the modulation factor is less than 0.7 for index-guide mode stabilized lasers; 2) The quantitative evaluation of reflected laser beam effects on laser noise characteristics. The maximum laser-coupled reflected optical power that does not increase laser noise was determined as-65 ∼ -73 dB or less depending on the kind of laser structure; and 3) The evaluation of optical power reflected back into the laser in graded-index multimode fiber systems.

Optical fiber Fabry-Perot cavities and recirculating delay lines astunable microwave filters

The radio frequency or microwave responses of single-mode fiber Fabry-Perot cavities and recirculating delay lines are studied. It is shown that fiber Fabry-Perot cavities may be used as bandpass filters and the recirculating delay lines as bandstop filters at radio or microwave frequencies. These electric filters are tunable by electrooptic effects since the bandpass or bandstop characteristic changes when the cavity or the delay line length is varied by a few tenths of an optical wavelength. The ultimate limit on speed of tuning is set by the coherence time of the light source. The dependence of the filter responses on the spectral purity of light is studied. Examples are given to illustrate the tunability of these electric filters. The availability of various components required to build the tunable RF or microwave filters is reviewed

An analysis of interconnect delay minimization by low-voltage repeater insertion

The effect of voltage-scaling on interconnect delay minimization by CMOS-repeater insertion is analyzed. Analytical models are developed to calculate the optimum number of repeaters as function of CMOS supply voltage. The analytically obtained results are in good agreement with SPICE extracted results. Analysis shows that voltage-scaling decreases power dissipation and the optimum number of repeaters required for delay minimization in long interconnects. Both resistive and inductive interconnects have been considered. At highly scaled voltages, the inductive interconnect has the advantage of lower power-delay product. It is also seen that voltage-scaling affects delay improvement due to repeater insertion.     

Integrated MOS analog delay line

A 16-stage, fixed or variable analog delay line that makes use of integrated p-channel MOS field-effect transistors is described. The delay line relies on `sample' and `hold' techniques and makes use of the inherent characteristics of p-channel MOS transistors. The delay line provides unit gain with a dynamic range of 1 volt. The bandwidth of the delay line is 0.8 MHz under nonsampling conditions. The lowest sampling rate was found to be 50 Hz. A built-in capacitive compensation technique using signals opposite in phase reduces feedthrough of the sampling signal and final filtering requirements. Investigation of the problems of obtaining unity gain and dynamic range led to the development of a computer-aided analysis that provides a family of dc transfer characteristics of cascaded p- channel MOS `half-stages' when a variation of either a material or electrical parameter is made.

Signal-to-noise ratio in Raman active fiber systems: Application to recirculating delay lines

An analysis of photon count statistics of noise in Raman fiber amplifiers and passive optical components is presented. The resuits are used for evaluating the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of Raman active recirculating delay lines. It is found that the quadratic dependence of the noise on the number of recirculations causes the SNR to decay with increasing optical delays. Ultimate system performance capabilities, as determined by the SNR quantum limit, are discussed.     

Contention resolution and QoS provisioning using sparse fiber delay lines in WDM networks

In this paper, we combine fiber delay lines (FDL) and optical wavelength conversion (OWC) as the solution for the burst contention problem in optical burst switching (OBS). We present a placement algorithm, k-WDS, for the sparse placement of FDLs at a set of selected nodes in the network. The algorithm can handle both uniform and non-uniform traffic patterns. Our extensive performance tests show that k-WDS provides more efficient placement of optical fiber delay lines than the well-known approach of placing the resources at nodes with the highest experienced burst loss. Performance results are also given to compare the benefit of using FDLs alone, OWCs alone, as well as a mixture of both FDLs and OWCs. A new algorithm, A-WDS, for the placement of an arbitrary numbers of FDLs and OWCs is presented and evaluated under different uniform and non-uniform traffic loads using network simulation of the NSFNET topology and randomly generated graphs. The paper is concluded by presenting the design of a cost-effective optical switch equipped with variable-delay FDL bank. Based on the switch design, a scheme to provide differentiated services for multiple classes of traffic is presented and evaluated.     

Effective on-chip inductance modeling for multiple signal lines and application to repeater insertion

/sup A/ new approach to handle inductance effects for multiple signal lines is presented. The worst-case switching pattern is first identified. Then a numerical approach is used to model the effective loop inductance (L/sub eff/) for multiple lines. Based on a look-up table for L/sub eff/, an equivalent single line model can be generated to decouple a specific signal line from the others to perform static timing analysis. Compared to the use of full RLC netlists for multiple lines, this approach greatly improves the computational efficiency and maintains accuracy for timing and signal integrity analysis. We apply these models to repeater insertion in critical paths and find that, for a single line, the RLC model minimizes delay with fewer number of repeaters than RC model. However, for multiple lines, we find that same number of repeaters is inserted for optimal delay according to both the RC and RLC models.
