In recent years, multicast services such as high-definition television (HDTV), video conferencing, interactive distance learning, and distributed games have increased exponentially, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) networks are considered to be a promising technology due to their support for multicast applications. Multicast survivability in WDM networks has been the focus of extensive attention since a single-link failure in an optical network may result in a massive loss of data. But the improvement of network survivability increases energy consumption due to more resource allocation for protection. In this paper, an energy-efficient multicast algorithm (EEMA) is proposed to reduce energy consumption in WDM networks. Two cost functions are defined based on the link state to determine both working and protection paths for a multicast request in WDM networks. To increase the number of sleeping links, the link cost function of the working path aims to integrate new working path into the links with more working paths. Sleeping links indicate the links in sleep mode, which do not have any working path. To increase bandwidth utilization by sharing spare capacity, the cost function of the protection path is defined to use sleeping fibers for establishing new protection paths. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of energy consumption, and also the blocking probability is evaluated under various traffic environments through OPNET. Simulation results show that our algorithm reduces energy consumption while maintaining the quality of service.

We propose a novel structure of wavelength selective optical add/drop filter comprising two tap couplers and a fiber Bragg grating. The device has unique features including a simpler structure and a lower cost implementation as compared with existing device for the same operation. The filter performance has been measured and analyzed, experimentally. The implemented prototype filter shows good performance with no­crosstalk power penalty in a 155Mbps per channel wavelength­division­multiplexing transmission system but suffers from a relatively high loss of 3.5㏈ and 21㏈ for transmitted and dropped channel, respectively. While the dropped channel extinction ratio was more than 15㏈, the transmitted channel extinction ratio was more than 26㏈.

The AWG-filtering effect was investigated on a bidirectional 100-GHz-channel-spacing WDM-PON link using spectrum-sliced and RSOA-amplified light sources for downstream signals and a wavelength reuse technique for upstream signals. Signal performances of three different filtering AWGs, including Gaussian, trapezoidal, and rectangular types, were compared on link transmission with fiber nonlinear effects. As an extinction ratio of a downstream signal varied, the effect for both directional signals was analyzed and optimized. It was found that there was an optimal pass bandwidth of an AWG for the balance between relative intensity noise decrement and cross phase modulation noise increment as the bandwidth got wider.

We have proposed an application of disturbance observer with PID controller to minimize gain-transient time of wavelength-division-multiplexing(WDM) multi channels in optical amplifier in channel add/drop networks. We have dramatically reduced the gain-transient time to less than $3{\mu}sec$ by applying a disturbance observer with a proportional/integral/ differential(PID) controller to the control of amplifier gain. The theoretical analysis on the 3-level erbium-doped fiber laser and the disturbance observer technique is demonstrated by performing the simulation with co-simulation of the $MATLAB^{TM}$ and a numerical modeling software package such as the $Optsim^{TM}$.

차세대 광 인터넷 백본망 기술은 WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing)기반의 고속 대용량 전광 전달망인 AOTN (All-Optical Transport Network)으로 발전하고 있고, 가입자의 원활한 멀티미디어 서비스의 제공을 위한 망 생존성 보장이 중요한 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 특히 광소자의 고유한 특성을 교묘히 이용하는 물리적 공격은 AOTN의 투명한 데이터 전달 특성으로 인해 기존의 오버헤드를 이용한 관리 시스템이 더 이상 유효하지 않아, 새로운 검출/회복 메커니즘이 요구된다. 본 고에서는 AOTN에서 발생 가능한 공격 유형을 광소자별로 분석하고, 광 레벨에서의 공격 검출과 회복 메커니즘을 소개한다. 이를 바탕으로 공격관리 시스템(Attack Management System: AMS)의 제어 모델을 기술한다.

With the great demand for WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical communications, optical switches are expected to become one of the dominant components in future networks. Conventional mechanical switches suffer from poor reliability and large size; however, many micromachined optical switches with moving mirrors have been proposed for high scale OXC (Optical Crossconnect) or ADM (Add/Drop Multiplex) because of the low power consumption and high reliability of these switches. In this paper, we introduce the technological trends of optical switches using MEMS, related micromachining technologies and their characteristics.

In this paper, we analyzed the crosstalk characteristics of LD array modules for WDM and improved the crosstalk levels using a screening line between access lines. From the calculation resutls, we have found that inductive crosstalk of access lines is dominant for the low impedance LD arrays with short bondwire interconnections. The proposed array interconnecton with the screening line and ouble bondwires, rduces the crosstalk level about 10dB compared to conventional interconnections using simple access lines and a single bondwire. This proposed structure also can be easily imlemented with transmission reliability.

Among many fabrication methods of composite materials, filament winding is the most effective method for fabricating axis-symmetric structures such as pressure tanks and pipes. Filament wound pressure tanks are under high internal pressure during the operation and it has the complexity in damage mechanisms and failure modes. Fiber optic sensors, especially FBG sensors can be easily embedded into the composite structures contrary to conventional electric strain gages (ESGs). In addition, many FBG sensors can be multiplexed in single optical fiber using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques. In this paper, we fabricated several filament wound pressure tanks with embedded FBG sensors and conducted some kinds of experiments such as an impact test, a bending test, and a thermal cycling test. From the experimental results, it was successfully demonstrated that FBG sensors are very appropriate to composite structures fabricated by filament winding process even though they are embedded into composites by multiplexing.
