We study a time-slotted and synchronous output queued switch that uses packet
concatenation to reduce band width overhead, or CS-OQ switch. The CS-OQ switch avoids …

The rapid increase in Internet traffic is forcing packet routers to grow in capacity to meet the
demand. Optical packet routers with less buffering and a greater degree of optical …

Given the rapid increase in traffic, greater demands have been put on research in high-
speed switching systems. Such systems have to simultaneously meet several constraints …

Hyperspectral imaging combines the attributes of imaging (detecting physical features) and
spectroscopy (detecting chemical features) and is a technology with great potential in many …

Silicon has become a popular platform for the integration of a large number of devices. The
material property of silicon and its high contrast in refractive index with silica makes it a …

Femtosecond laser micromachining has stood out, from its birth in the late nineties, as a
powerful and versatile technique for integrated device prototyping. This technique is based …

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) allows hundreds of wavelength channels
to be carried in a single optical fiber, at the rate of 40 Gb/s and beyond, and is the most …

The design of the next-generation Internet infrastructure is driven by the need to sustain the
massive growth in bandwidth demands. Novel, energy-efficient, optical networking …
