In the last twenty years, optical networks have witnessed recurrent changes in their
management and control architecture. In this paper, we present a historical timeline and a …

The future of Internet depends on meeting ever-increasing capacity needs while curbing the
energy consumption's uncontrolled growth in data networks, especially in switching. Optics …

We demonstrate error-free 100-Gb/s optical packet switching with low power consumption
by using a combination of a label processor and 8× 8 broadcast-and-select (B&S) optical …

This paper presents and experimentally demonstrates a novel high-capacity switching
system with several types of optical switches, based on time division multiplexing, space …

Performance improvement of a broadcast-and-select (B&S) optical switch based on an
electro-absorption modulator (EAM)-gate array is presented. The introduction of a novel spot …

A novel label processor subsystem for 100-Gbps (25-Gbps× 4λs) burst-mode optical packets
is developed, in which a highly energy-efficient method is pursued for extracting and …

A monolithic 8× 8 transmitter-router chip fabricated on InGaAlAs-InP multi-quantum well
wafer for distributed wavelength routing network in the O-band with a channel spacing of …

Two‐dimensional torus network nodes are typically interconnected using XY routing
algorithm for transmitting a packet from a source node to a destination node. In XY routing, if …

We investigated the application of compact and densely integrated silicon photonics (SiP)
switches and controlled them using layer 2 labels to achieve low-latency and low-power …

This paper presents past and recent trends of optical networks and addresses the future
directions. First, we describe path networks with the historical backgrounds and trends. path …
