Towards the monolithic integration of electronics and photonics, lots of efforts have been made to decrease the device footprint by using surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), in order to enhance performances and decrease power consumption. With current metals, this is, however, only true for single or few cascaded devices. This situation can be mitigated by hybridizing SPPs with dielectric modes; hybrid plasmonic waveguides based on silicon platform can provide an alternative to exploit the advantages of both plasmonics and silicon. This paper presents several examples of design, fabrication and characterization of hybrid plasmonic functional components based on silicon nanowire platform, including hybrid plasmonic directional couplers, polarization beam splitters, disks and rings with submicron radii. A proposal of electro-optic polymer modulator based on hybrid plasmonic ring resonator is also discussed. The presented components provide alternative perspectives of novel devices which may be useful in future inter- and intra-core communication systems.","PeriodicalId":364683,"journal":{"name":"2014 13th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126123327","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}

Due to the limited bandwidth, the low communication efficiency and the bad scalability, the Network on Chip (NoC) has been unable to satisfy the requirements of the applications above. More recently, the Optical NoC (ONoC) is introduced as an efficient solution. Compared with NoC, ONoC has the higher bandwidth, the lower power consumption and the shorter latency. With the increasing number of IP cores on a single chip, the study of 3-Dimensional (3D) ONoC has already entered the preliminary stage. Thus in this paper, we design a new 3D ONoC topology structure called 3D X-Torus. Next, we design a bidirectional optical router and a vertical optical router for our topology. Finally, we propose the corresponding routing algorithm. Our simulation results demonstrate the performances of our 3D ONoC topology, optical router and routing algorithm.","PeriodicalId":364683,"journal":{"name":"2014 13th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117072003","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}

As optical switch offers high bandwidth, low latency and reduced energy consumption, it becomes a promising switching solution for scalable DCN. Recently, a new DCN architecture with distributed component sets (racks and optical core switches) in a given optical network has been proposed to simplify the DCN internal connection and make the DCN fully scalable. Because the core switches play an important role in both external service access and inter-node traffic switching, a single core switch failure may lead to traffic congestion or collapse of a DCN. Based on an existing distributed DCN, in this paper we consider how to deploy a backup core switch to fight against an arbitrary single core switch failure while minimizing the total protection cost. Upon a core switch failure, all unaffected traffics keep their original routes unchanged, and predefined protection strategy (rerouting and switching) will take effect for the affected traffics. To solve this problem, we formulate an integer linear program (ILP) to place the backup core switch at a proper node and determine the fast traffic recovery mechanism. We validate the proposed design by extensive simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":364683,"journal":{"name":"2014 13th International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123950898","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}
