This paper discusses design, fabrication, and characterization of a 512× 512 arrayed
waveguide grating router (AWGR) with a channel spacing of 25 GHz. The dimensions of the …

Due to the slowdown of Moore's law, it will become increasingly challenging to efficiently
scale the network in current data centers utilizing electrical packet switches as data rates …

The growing popularity of cloud and multimedia services is dramatically increasing the traffic
volume that each data center needs to handle. This is driving the demand for highly …

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 …

We review our work on an intra-data center (DC) network based on co-deployment of optical
packet switching (OPS) and optical circuit switching (OCS), conducted within the framework …
