InP-based PICs have enabled a first generation of CFP2-ACO modules for line-side 100Gb/s deployment. A number of options are available to scale to higher volumes and enable high density transport up to 400Gb/s.
Today, information flows across the globe as easily as it flows across the office. This information might come from New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, or Cape Town and arrive not from satellites but from cables that sit on the ocean floor. The Earth's continents are connected with a web of undersea fiber optic cables that join the world's major population centers. Anyone who surfs the...
In their hearts, computers, smartphones, and other mobile devices are simply quantifying information and sewing it together however we tell them to. But these devices aren't mere objects; they are the nervous system for a networked world. Their effects are broad, deep, and often quite difficult to discern, extending far off the desktop into our everyday lives.
Due to three orders of magnitude global population density distribution, advanced telecom payload technologies located on earth, air and space are required to meet the challenge of providing Internet service to the unconnected world population.
This paper explores the trade-offs of how system designs will change as interface designs migrate from 10 to 25 to 56Gbit/lane applied to traditional scale-out systems and disaggregrated systems.
Software presents performance difficulties if it is the sole means of allowing programmability in high-speed optical SDN and NFV. Programmable hardware offers an ideal companion for implementing flexible SDN data planes and accelerating NFV functions.
Microsoft is beginning the development of a SDN control plane for an Open Line System (OLS). This paper discusses some of the issues surrounding the effort and some potential approaches for controlling the OLS and coherent sources and receivers.
Intra-DC networks are composed of heterogeneous vendor domains. The definition of a common SDN/PCE orchestration architecture and protocol abstracting the specific control and transport technologies is key for providing end-to-end connectivity and virtual network services
We present recent results on our atomic clad waveguide including strong interactions at moderate temperatures, all optical switching and Doppler free lines. We also discuss coupled photonic-atomic resonances and their potential for stabilizing telecom sources.
I will talk about how 2015 is the year of the change for mega data centers. The industry is shifting to open hardware and software. An important part of this is the optical interconnect industry is targeting now the high volume data centers first changing the development, manufacturing, and pricing models.
Networks for CloudScale Data Centers are challenged by the need to support multiple diverse traffic patterns and traffic types across a single shared physical network. This talk lays out challenges and shows how softwaredefined networking combined with simple physical networks meets the need.
Recent trends in cloud computing call for rethinking the Data Center Network (DCN) design for huge capacities, tremendous scale, and high levels of flexibility. On the other hand, business and environmental sustainability concerns call for improving the cost effectiveness and power efficiency. DCN architecture proposed by EU project COSIGN stands up for these challenges by combining optical technologies...
This talk describes critical elements in Facebook's latest data center architectural design. From rack disaggregation, to the strategy for optical interconnect deployment; we describe how these concepts become initiatives in the Open Compute Project (OCP).
In this talk, we will provide an overview of nonlinearities and non-idealities in high-confinement silicon photonic waveguides, focusing in particular on the effects that are most relevant to realistic transceivers.
Networking is having a profound and increasingly dominant role in modem financial markets. This talk will present an overview of electronic trading systems, trends in the underlying technologies, and areas of opportunity for researchers.
The heterogeneous integration of InP material into a silicon photonics wafer flow enables high bandwidth transceivers to be fabricated using established silicon foundry infrastructure for both fabrication and packaging.
Skorpios technology platform that delivers on all promises of Silicon Photonics will be described. Skorpios' proprietary process monolithically integrates III–V material into SOI wafers and allows the production of a wide variety of laser sources.
An overall view of AT&T's SDN based optical transport target architecture, role of flexible and feature rich network elements, SDN driven use cases to enable multi-layer packet/optical network in serving cloud applications, and practical & real implementation in the near term.
One of the key tenets of SDN followed by the Open Networking Foundation is the abstraction of network behavior. This has enabled the separation of forwarding and control and led to faster innovation in both the forwarding plane and the control plane. In our work on optical transport, we have demonstrated common control for packet and optical switching, as well as application access to network topology...
