Coherent excitation is achieved by matching the repetition rate of a pumping mode-locked laser to a sub multiple of the free spectral range of one of the sets of modes of the disk. Once the disk is excited, we measure the resonatorpsilas quality factor by the fractional loss per round trip, and, after blocking the excitation, by the pulsed ringdown time decay. Both values agree with the quality factor measured by continuous wave transmission.","PeriodicalId":230802,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132507341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The employment of metamaterials aims to overcome the intrinsic limitations of the standard components, based on the diffraction limit. In this way, patch antennas can be miniaturized compared to their traditional counterparts, leaky wave radiators can achieve improved directivity performances, resonant microwave absorbers can be miniaturized beyond 1/100 of the operating wavelength in terms of thickness, microstrip directional couplers can be made very short and with very high coupling values. The physical mechanisms behind the operation of such components, the analysis and design steps, and the experiments conducted in cooperation with other universities will be presented.

Optics provides greater bandwidths and long reach while wireless offers easier deployment, mobility and freedom to end users. By combining both, service experience is highly enhanced. Single types of transmission systems indeed have their advantages, but integration is essential if broadband really is for all. PON (passive optical networks) services together with UWB (ultra-wide band) generate advanced access solutions that once deployed, offer quadruple-play integration of wireless, voice, data and video applications.

Circuits are wavelength-paths in a Wavelength Routed Optical Network (WRON), resulting in bandwidth granularity of a wavelength. In this paper, we propose the HPTS scheme, enabling a higher granularity of the OpMiGua guaranteed service (GST) circuit paths by employing time-slots. Nodes sharing a wavelength path are allocated time-slots according to their bandwidth needs. Best effort traffic accesses unused bandwidth within any time-slot, enabling high bandwidth utilization.
