Experimental demonstration of layer-1 multicast for WDM networks using reconfigurable OADM

The feasibility of multicast-capable-reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (MC-ROADM) based on broadcast-and-select switch is experimentally demonstrated. The MC-ROADM can support unicast connection as well as multicast connection, and can provide directionless switching and low insertion loss in path-through channel. We implement fully-reconfigurable multi-degree MC-ROADM based on wavelength selective switch, and evaluate multicasting performances by fully loading 40 × 10 Gbit/s wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signals. For unicast and multicast operation, measured spectrum and bit-error-rate (BER) show good uniformity and no power penalty. After 1040 km transmission with 25 dB span loss, the measured BER is higher than forward-error-correction (FEC) limit for BER of 10⁻¹⁵.     

640 Gbit/s (64-Wavelength $,times,$10 Gbit/s) Data-Rate Wide-Colored NRZ-DPSK Optical Packet Switching and Buffering Demonstration

We demonstrated optical packet switching and buffering operation of a DWDM/NRZ-DPSK optical packet, whose payload-data-rate is 640 Gbit/s (64-wavelength$,times,$10 Gbit/s), for transparent optical packet switch systems for the first time. Error-free (bit-error-rate ${≪}10^{- 9}$) operation including 200-Gchip/s PSK optical label processing was achieved for all 64-wavelength-channel 10 Gbit/s DPSK packet-payloads. In addition, the higher tolerance of DPSK format for packet power fluctuation compared with OOK one was verified in an optical packet switch system.      

Buffering in optical packet switches

This paper consists of a categorization of optical buffering strategies for optical packet switches, and a comparison of the performance of these strategies both with respect to packet loss/delay and bit error rate (BER) performance. Issues surrounding optical buffer implementation are discussed, and representative architectures are introduced under different categories. Conclusions are drawn about packet loss and BER performance, and about the characteristics an architecture should have to be practical. It is shown that there is a strong case for the use of optical regeneration for successful cascading of these architectures     

Demonstration of 10 Gbit Ethernet/Optical-Packet Converter for IP Over Optical Packet Switching Network

We developed novel network interfaces, for example 10 Gbit Ethernet to 80 Gbit/s optical-packet (10 GbitE–80 GbitOP) or 80 Gbit/s optical-packet to 10 Gbit Ethernet (80 GbitOP–10 GbitE) converters (collectively called as 10 GbitE/80 GbitOP converters), to connect optical packet switching (OPS) networks with IP technology-based networks. By using newly developed arrayed burst-mode optical packet transmitters/receivers together, the 10 GbitE–80 GbitOP converter at the ingress edge node of the OPS network encapsulates an IP packet into an $80(8lambdatimes 10) {rm Gbit/s}$ dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)-based optical packets and generates an optical label based on a lookup table and the destination addresses of the IP packet. The 80 GbitOP–10 GbitE converter at the egress edge node decapsulates the IP packet from the optical packet and generates a 10 GbitE frame accommodating the IP packet according to a lookup table. By using these network interface devices and OPS system based on multiple optical label processing, we achieved, for the first time, 74-km single-mode fiber transmission, switching, and buffering of $80(8lambdatimes 10) {rm Gbit/s}$ DWDM-based optical packets encapsulating almost 10 Gbit/s IP packets with error-free operation (IP packet loss rate $≪ 10^{-6}$).

Transmission performance of implicit optical label switching system with coherently detected spectral amplitude code labels

A new optical label switching system with coherently detected implicit spectral amplitude code (SAC) labels is proposed in this paper. The implicit SAC labels are recognized using a frequency-swept local light source oscillator. An explicit SAC-label switching system with 40 Gbit/s intensity modulation (IM) payloads and 156 Mbit/s label and an implicit SAC-label switching system with 2.5 Gbit/s IM payloads and 156 Mbit/s label are both considered. Label and payload bit error rate (BER) performance is assessed and compared by simulations. The results reveal that after 80 km transmission and at the BER of 10-9, the received optical power (ROP) values of label and payload are -8.3 dBm and -23.5 dBm in implicit SAC-label switching system, respectively, while those are -18.2 dBm and -18.6 dBm in explicit SAC-label switching system, respectively. As a result, the payloads of 40 Gbit/s and 2.5 Gbit/s in explicit/implicit SAC-label switching system have little influence on the received payload quality at the BER of 10-9 after 80 km transmission. Finally, a payload of 40 Gbit/s can obtain 12.5 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) after 80 km transmission.     

Pulse shaping for high data rate ultra‐wideband wireless transmission under the Russian spectral emission mask

This paper addresses impulse‐radio ultra‐wideband (IR‐UWB) transmission under the Russian spectral emission mask for unlicensed UWB radio communications. Four pulse shapes are proposed and their bit error rate (BER) performance is both estimated analytically and evaluated experimentally. Well‐known shapes such as the Gaussian, root‐raised cosine, hyperbolic secant, and the frequency B‐spline wavelet are used to form linear combinations of component pulses, shaped to make efficient use of the spectral emission mask. Analytical BER values are derived using a Nakagami‐m model, and good agreement is found with the experimentally obtained BER. The proposed pulse shapes allow IR‐UWB transmission with BERs below the limit for a 7% overhead forward error correction, achieving distances of up to 6.5 m at 1 Gbit/s, 4.5 m at 1.25 Gbit/s, and 1 m at  Gbit/s. These results confirm the viability of IR‐UWB transmission under the strict regulations of the Russian spectral emission mask.     

An improved multiplier-free feed-forward carrier phase estimation for dual-polarization QPSK modulation format

An improved multiplier-free feed-forward carrier phase estimation algorithm is proposed for dual-polarization quad-rature-phase-shift-keying (DP-QPSK) with coherent detection. The bit error rate (BER) performance, block length effect and linewidth tolerance of the proposed algorithm are evaluated for a 112 Gbit/s DP-QPSK system. A linewidth symbol duration product of 2.9×10-4 is demonstrated for 1 dB optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR) penalty at BER of 10-3 for the proposed algorithm. The hardware complexity of the proposed multiplier-free algorithm is demonstrated to be much lower than that of the 4th power algorithm.     

Demonstration of optical label processing with timing pulse generator

A timing pulse generator that extracts the first pulse of a packet and uses it in a pattern-matching optical label processor is proposed. The label processor is demonstrated in a 1/spl times/2 optical packet switching system. The packet switching system operation was polarisation independent for 10 Gbit/s packets.

Buffering management schemes for optical variable length packets under limited packet sorting

This paper studies several buffering strategies for optical packet switching (OPS) under limited packet sorting. Three schemes, which are able to sort newly arrived packets based on packet’s length as well as capability of finding the minimum buffer occupancy, are analyzed and compared. Results show that all three proposed schemes could improve OPS performance considerably in terms of probability of packet loss (PPL) and probability of information loss (PIL). In addition, the simulation results show that not all the newly arrived packets need to be sorted in order to obtain minimum packet loss probability. Since the amount of packets and thus the packet processing time is significant in OPS, it is possible that not all the packets can be processed using one of the buffering strategies. An important finding of this paper is that if only 10% of the packets are sorted, the PPL is comparable to the minimum packet loss value obtained when 100% of the packets are sorted.     

A novel scheme of all optical header extraction for optical packet switching network

A novel scheme of all optical header extraction using a semiconductor optical amplifier-Mach-Zehnder-Interferometer with asymmetric control light is proposed for optical packet switching with all-optical header processing at a header rate of 20 Gb/s and payload rate of 80 Gb/s in this article. The scheme parameters are discussed and analyzed to optimize the performance of optical header extraction with the proposed scheme. Numerical analysis and simulation show that a more than 17 dB contrast ratio can be achieved for the optical header separation when the input optical signal energy is as low as 0.2 pJ. In addition, the system structure is simple, stable, and photonic integratable.     

Variable IP packets buffer management schemes for optical packet switching

Effective buffering of optical packets is essential to the efficient working of optical packet switches. In this paper three new schemes, which involve sorting and finding the least occupied buffer, are proposed. Their performance is compared with the common round-robin scheme. The results show that all these new schemes are able to enhance the optical packet switch performance significantly in terms of packet drop/loss probability. In addition, the results show that not all the newly arrived packets need to be sorted in order to obtain the minimum packet drop probability. As computation/processing time is significant in optical packet switching, partial sorting of the newly arrived packets with tolerable packet drop probability appears to be a viable proposition. Conversely, a complete sort of newly arrived packets wastes packet processing time unnecessarily while significantly increasing the packet drop probability.     

An optical router with multistage management functions for asynchronous optical packet switching network

An optical router with multistage distributed management features for the asynchronous optical packet switching (OPS) network is presented, which can improve switching capacity and all-optical scalability. A compact recycling-fiber-delay-line (Rec-FDL) based collision resolution mechanism is proposed to resolve the contentions for asynchronous and variable length optical packets. The analysis models of stabilities, packet loss rates (PLR) and average packet waiting latencies (PWL) for the router are developed based on the timer based optical packet assembly algorithm. The simulation shows that PLR and PWL for a 400-byte optical packet transmitted in the 32 wavelengths dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system equal to 3.48 × 10⁻⁴ and 0.072 ns, respectively. The non-blocking switching can be realized for the packets with lengths less than the buffer granularity of the Rec-FDL, and the optimized performance for the proposed router can be obtained through properly selecting of the system parameters.     

SCOQ: a fast packet switch with shared concentration and outputqueueing

A space-division, nonblocking packet switch with data concentration and output buffering is proposed. The performance of the switch is evaluated with respect to packet loss probability, the first and second moments of the equilibrium queue length and waiting time, throughput, and buffer overflow probability. Numerical results indicate that the switch exhibits very good delay-throughput performance over a wide range of input traffic. The switch compares favorably with some previously proposed switches in terms of fewer basic building elements used to attain the same degree of output buffering

For the first time, to the knowledge of the authors, BER measurements are demonstrated on 10 Gbit/s optical logic XOR, with zero penalty. In addition. For the first time 20 Gbit/s all-optical XOR, with an integrated device that allows simple, stable, and efficient operation, is demonstrated     

Performance of fiber delay‐line buffers in asynchronous packet‐based optical switching networks with wavelength conversion

A major challenge in asynchronous packet‐based optical networks is packet contention, which occurs when two or more packets head to the same output at the same time. To resolve contention in the optical domain, two primary approaches are wavelength conversion and fiber delay line (FDL) buffering. In wavelength conversion, a contending packet can be converted from one wavelength to another in order to avoid conflict. In FDL buffering, contending packets can be delayed for a fixed amount of time. While the performance of wavelength conversion and FDL buffering has been evaluated extensively in synchronous networks with fixed‐sized packets, in this paper, we study the performance of FDL buffers in asynchronous packet‐based optical networks with wavelength conversion. An analytical model is proposed to evaluate the performance in terms of packet loss probability and average delay. Extensive simulation and analytical results show that, with appropriate settings, FDL buffers can perform much better in switches with wavelength conversion than in switches with no conversion.

All-optical packet compression of variable length packets from 40 to 1500 B using a gated fiber loop

A scalable loop-based packet compression scheme capable of handling variable length Internet protocol packets, from 40 to 1500 B, is proposed and demonstrated. The technique uses per packet variable compression ratio to achieve fixed compressed output packet size independent of input packet size. This technique allows variable length packets to be stored in fixed delay optical buffers and has application to optical packet switching, optical multiplexing, and optical grooming. These results demonstrate the largest packet size compressed to date. Error-free compression and verification of 1500-B packets compression from 2.5 to 10 Gb/s is demonstrated with a measured power penalty of /spl sim/2.2 dB.
