Novel thermo-optic waveguide gate switch arrays were designed and fabricated based on
the direct UV-written technique. Highly fluorinated low-loss photopolymers and organic …

A series of novel thermo-optic (TO) polymers (AF-Z-PC EPs) were achieved and they could
be mixed with photoinitiator in solvent and to produce the negative-type fluorinated …

As the number of wavelengths in a single optical fiber increases, so does the number of
ports needed for wavelength switching in optical cross-connects (OXCs), which may …

In an optical network using the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, routing
a request consists of assigning it a route in the physical network and a wavelength. If each …

Traffic grooming offers the ability to switch low speed traffic streams into high speed
bandwidth trunks so that resources are shared among multiple entities that individually need …

This paper analyses an optical network architecture composed by an arrangement of nodes
equipped with multi-granular optical cross-connects (MG-OXCs) in addition to the usual …
