Therefore we address the following components in this paper: 1) out-of-plane couplers for optical waveguides embedded in PCB, 2) peripheral fiber ribbons and two-dimensional single- and multimode fiber connectors for high-speed parallel optical connections, and 3) intra-MCM level optical interconnections via free-space optical modules. For the fabrication of these micro-optical interconnect modules, we are focusing at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel on the continuous development of a rapid prototyping technology, which we call deep proton writing (DPW). The special feature of this prototyping technology is that it is compatible with commercial low-cost mass replication techniques such as micro injection moulding and hot embossing.","PeriodicalId":265478,"journal":{"name":"2007 9th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121082919","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}

It is also shown that these algorithms require the smallest number of plane, i.e. there is no other algorithms which will lead to the lower number of needed planes. It should be noted, that the algorithm can determine a plane for a new connection in O(N0.5) time or even in O(1) time depending on the implementation.","PeriodicalId":265478,"journal":{"name":"2007 9th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127472269","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}

Unlike classical circuit switching, contention between bursts may cause blocking and make consequent loss within the network. Since the network can not carry a burst without its control packet, the control channel must be able to carry the complete BCP load. We propose a new assembly mechanism which takes into account the control channel availability. In this mechanism, a burst is created only if its control packet can be transmitted. We present preliminary results that show how monitoring the control channel in the burst assembly mechanism can significantly improve the network performance. Simulations show that the proposed mechanism changes adaptively the burst length, reduces the possibility of continuous blocking problem, reduces the packets loss rate, and increases the throughput while still satisfying the maximum assembly delay.","PeriodicalId":265478,"journal":{"name":"2007 9th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127475746","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}
