In this paper, we propose a new optical hybrid switching system that takes advantage of both Optical Burst Switching (OBS) and Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) technologies. This system classifies incoming IP traffic flows into short-lived and long-lived flows for hybrid switching. For performance analysis, we model the system as a single server queue in a Markovian environment. The burst generation process is assumed to follow a two-state Markov Modulated Poisson Process (MMPP), and the service rate fluctuates based on the number of concurrent OCS sessions. Results of the mean delay and queue size for OBS bursts are derived.

Subpicosecond all-optical switching method based on the simultaneous two-photon coherence exchange is proposed and numerically demonstrated. The optical switching mechanism is based on the optical field induced dark resonance swapping via nondegenerate four-wave mixing processes. For potential applications of ultrafast all-optical switching in fiber-optic communications, 10-THz channel number independent quantum router is discussed.

Optical Switching Matrix (OSM) or Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (OMINs) comprising photonic switches have been studied extensively as important interconnecting blocks for Optical Cross Connects (OXC) based on Optical Burst Switching (OBS). A basic element of photonic switching networks is a 2$\times$2 directional coupler with two inputs and two outputs. This paper is concerned with the diagnosis of multiple crosstalk-faults in OSM. As the network size becomes larger in these days, the conventional diagnosis methods based on tests and simulation become inefficient, or even more impractical. We propose a simple and easily implementable algorithm for detection and isolation of the multiple crosstalk-faults in OSM. Specifically. we develop an algorithm for isolation of the source fault in switching elements whenever the multiple crosstalk-faults arc detected in OSM. The proposed algorithm is illustrated by an example of 16$\times$16 OSM.

In this paper it is proposed a new architecture for N*N optical packet switching system. It consists of active-splitter type pf packet router, travelling type of optical buffer memory for packet contention resoltuion and an electronic controller. the BER performance of the proposed switching system is analyzed with respect to channel crosstalks and amplified spontaneous emissio noise form switching elements and optical amplifiers respectively. Operational validity of the proposed switching system is also experimentally proved by realizing 2*2 optical packet switching system.

We demonstrate a novel all-optical packet switching system that is suitable for optical ring networks. For the demonstration, video signals are encoded into optical packets which are composed of header and payload. The optical packets are all-optically processed at a switching node based on all-optical header processor, packet-level clock extraction, bit-level clock extraction, all-optical data format converter and so on.

In this paper, we present a spatial perturbation method to control the optical patterns in semiconductor microresonators in the far-field configuration. We propose a fast all-optical switch which operates at a low light level. The switching beam controls the behavior of output beams with strong intensities. The method has been applied successfully to different optical patterns such as rolls, squares, and hexagons.

인터넷 사용자의 수와 전송되는 어플리케이션의 종류는 지속적으로 고도성장을 이어가고 있으며, 이에 따라 사용가능한 대역폭은 점점 그 한계에 도달해 가고 있다. 이러한 상황에서의 적절한 해결책은 바로 광 기술이다. 광 네트워크에서도 QoS를 제공하기 위한 방안들이 활발히 연구되고 있으며, 이중에서도 OCS와 OBS의 장점을 살림으로써 QoS를 제공하는 hybrid switching 방식들이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 Fully Hybrid Optical Switching(FHOS)은 OBS 네트워크에 OCS 방식을 결합한 방식으로, 기존의 hybrid switching 방식에서의 문제점을 해결하여 보다 효율적인 QoS를 제공한다.

Based on the transmission of coupled gap solitons in nonlinear periodic media, we present an all-optical switching scheme which has a novel architecture and principle. The proposed switch with an extremely small switching element can be realized on a semiconductor waveguide. We here investigate the switching performance with a GaAs waveguide in order to give criteria for the experimental realization of the all-optical switching phenomena. We also suggest a variation of an index-matching scheme to solve the technical problem such as the input-energy coupling into a periodic waveguide.

To improve the switching time of active optical bistable devices, we propose an active optical bistable device that consists of a diode laser, a transistor, and a photodetector. By implementing the proposed device we realize the optical bistable device with a 5 nanosecond switching time. This is the fastest switching time among the hybrid type optical bistable devices. It is also experimentally demonstrated that the proposed device may be used in an optical disc pick up.

All-optical switching has been demonstrated in bacteriorhodopsin (bR) based on nonlinear intensity induced excited state absorption. The transmission of a cw probe laser beam at 410 nm corresponding to the peak absorption of M state through a bR film is switched by a pulsed pump laser beam at 570 nm that corresponds to the maximum initial 8 state absorption. The switching characteristics have been analyzed using the rate equation approach considering all the six intermediate states (B, K, L, M, N and 0) in the bR photocycle. The switching characteristics are shown to be sensitive to life time of the M state, absorption cross-section of the 8 state at probe wavelength ($\sigma$ $\_$Bp/) and peak pump intensity. It has been shown that the probe laser beam can be completely switched off (100 % modulation) by the pump laser beam at relatively low pump powers, for $\sigma$$\_$Bp/ = O. The switching characteristics have been used to design all-optical NOT, OR, AND and the universal NOR and NAND logic gates for optical computing with two pulsed pump laser beams.
