Recent advancements in surface plasmon polaritons-plasmonics in subwavelength structures in microwave and terahertz regimes

This paper presents a review of recent investigational studies on exciting Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPPs) in MicroWave (MW) and TeraHertZ (THz) regimes by using subwavelength corrugated patterns on conductive or metal surfaces. This article also describes SPP Microstrip (MS) structures at microwave and terahertz frequencies, and compares their significance with that of conventional MS Transmission Lines (TL), in order to tackle the key challenges of high gain, bandwidth size, compactness, TL losses, and signal integrity in high-end electronic devices. Because they have subwavelength properties, surface plasmon polaritons are gaining attention for their improved performance and ability for miniaturization in high-speed dense circuits. They possess comparably minuscule wavelength compared to incident light (photons). Consequently, they can demonstrate stronger spatial confinement and higher local field intensity at optical frequencies. In addition to engineering spoof SPP waveguides, which are created by engraving grooves and slits on metal surfaces to allow operation on at low frequencies (microwave and terahertz), semiconductors with smaller permittivity values and thus lower free charge carrier concentration have been demonstrated as a potential candidate in plasmonic devices. If necessary, further tuning of semiconductor-based SPP structures is aided by controlling the charge carrier concentration through doping, or by external stimuli such as optical illumination or thermal excitation of charge carriers from valence to conduction bands. This article conclusively covers previously elucidated perspectives on manipulating SSPPs in the MW and THz ranges, and emphasizes how these could steer next-generation plasmonic devices.     

亚波长金属光栅的凹槽深度对太赫兹伪表面等离子体影响

Hop constraint based admission and fairness control in IP-over-WDM networks

From both user and operator perspectives, fairness is an important aspect in IP-over-WDM networks where Label Switched Paths (LSPs) are dynamically groomed over optical networks. The setup of LSPs with long distances experiences a higher blocking probability due to both lightpath establishment unfairness in the optical layer and link cascading effect in the IP/MPLS layer. A simple LSP connection admission and fairness control mechanism is proposed in this article. This control mechanism is based on hop constraint, in which an LSP is accepted with a pre-assigned probability according to its distance and the hops of its route. Through suppressing connection of short-distance LSPs that overuse bandwidth to facilitate the setup of LSPs with long distances, this proposal achieves fine distance fairness performance with a slight overall blocking probability increment.     

Connection Establishment of Label Switched Paths in IP/MPLS over Optical Networks

We propose and investigate three connection admission control policies for the establishment of label switched paths (LSPs) in IP/MPLS over optical networks. We show that the policy of establishing LSPs first in the optical layer achieves a better blocking performance. We examine the effect of the number of add/drop ports of optical cross-connects (OXCs) on the LSP blocking performance. We show that there exists a lower bound for the number of add/drop ports of OXCs for the network to achieve almost the best LSP blocking performance.     

Optimum Arrangement of Reliable Label-Switched Paths in MPLS Over Optical Networks

In MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) over optical networks, both the optical level and the MPLS level fault recovery can be considered. Generally, a more flexible path arrangement can be realized by the MPLS level recovery, while fast recovery can be achieved by the optical level recovery. When the optical level recovery is adopted, only normal traffic is carried through the working lightpaths and only recovered traffic is carried through the backup lightpaths. In contrast, the working LSPs (Label-Switched Paths) and the backup LSPs corresponding to other working LSPs can be accommodated into an identical lightpath when the MPLS level recovery is adopted. By such sophisticated accommodation of LSPs into the lightpaths, lightpath bandwidth can be utilized efficiently under the condition that the bandwidth utilization is restricted to attain the given objective of transfer quality for the MPLS packets in the normal state and unrestricted in a short time a failure occurs somewhere in the network. This paper proposes a simple mathematical programming model to obtain the optimum arrangement of the working and backup LSPs assuming the MPLS level recovery and a practical LSPs provisioning mode. By comparing the minimized network cost obtained from the optimum arrangement of the working and backup LSPs with the network cost resulting from the optical level recovery, this paper quantitatively evaluates the effectiveness of such bandwidth utilization improvement obtained from the MPLS level recovery and reveals that the MPLS level recovery can actually reduce the network cost due to its flexible arrangement of LSPs on the lightpaths.

High-speed, compact silicon and hybrid plasmonic waveguides for signal processing

All-optical circuits for signal processing could be a promising solution to overcome the speed bottleneck of electronics.For the photonics industry,silicon becomes a competitive material of choice in the field of integrated optics for designing and implementing high-speed and compact photonic devices.To further increase the integration density,it is a critical challenge to manipulate light on scales much smaller than the wavelength for the dielectric waveguides due to the diffi-action limitation.Surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs),which break the diffraction limitation,are receiving increasing attentions in recent years.This paper compares the advantages and disadvantages between electronic devices and optical devices taking differentiator as an example,and proposes an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) using silicon-based hybrid plasmonic waveguide.
