Indeed, the optical transparency has to be sacrificed in optical logic elements, signal processing, packet switching, etc. As a consequence, the traditional \"electronic opacity\" meets its \"optical\" equivalent in all-optical packet switched network. The paper presents the author's original view on future (all) optical packet-switched network which is based on a clear distinction within the dual nature of optical signals: analogue and transparent features of the signal in optical frequency domain from one side, and the digital characteristics of temporal signals and opaque solutions for all-optical logic from the other one. The imminence of breakdown of the \"transparency paradigm\" in the all-optical packet switched network for a variety of networking functions is pointed out.","PeriodicalId":126085,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2002 4th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (IEEE Cat.

The microcavity is made up in a planar dielectric waveguide by a circular cylinder of the plasma. The cylinder is perpendicular to perfectly conducting plates of waveguide boundaries that simulates semiconductor layers of very high conductivity. It is assumed that until zero moment of time the waveguide was filled with some homogeneous dielectric medium. At zero moment of time, homogeneous time-varying plasma is created by an extrinsic source inside a cylinder of some finite radius. A vertical driving line current that is co-axial to the cylinder and has an arbitrary temporal dependence excites the electromagnetic field in the whole system. This current is considered as a sort of light emitter model and can be turned on at arbitrary moment, either before or after plasma appearance.","PeriodicalId":126085,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2002 4th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (IEEE Cat.

Applying a fully vectorial method, we calculated the dependence of modal birefringence and polarization mode dispersion upon wavelength in photonic crystal holey fibers of different structure. We also determined the sensitivities of these two parameters to temperature. Our results show that in the analyzed spectral range modal birefringence increases while polarization mode dispersion decreases with wavelength in both structures. The sensitivity of modal birefringence to temperature is positive and increases with wavelength while the sensitivity of polarization mode dispersion is negative and decreases with wavelength. The spectral behavior of both sensitivities is opposite to that observed in classical elliptical-core fibers.","PeriodicalId":126085,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2002 4th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (IEEE Cat.

On the other hand, we have identify a PCF, called super-square PCF, in which the introduction of an off-lattice hole generates a highly anisotropic intraband guidance, and then the structure operates as a polarization maintaining fiber. Moreover, the combination of this anisotropy and intraband guidance gives rise to a radically new mechanism of polarization discrimination, which leads to a new class of single-polarization single-mode fibers. In both cases the goal is to control the dispersion and polarization properties in PCFs by modifying solely the geometrical parameters of these fibers. Keywords: fiber design, flattened dispersion.","PeriodicalId":126085,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2002 4th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (IEEE Cat.
