We consider several different basic assumptions regarding flexibility of EON that lead to a variety of IP formulations differing in precision and complexity. As usual, detailed models aiming at precisely describing technological aspects of EON suffer from tractability issues resulting from their greater complexity and have to be reasonably simplified. To achieve this, we consider cases where the bandwidth is divided into predefined slots, cases where the bandwidth is continuous and can be divided between demands with no restrictions, cases where a list of predefined paths is available, and finally cases where all the paths are indirectly taken into account. We present both compact and non-compact formulations. The non-compact formulations are accompanied with brief description of the dedicated column generation algorithms.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114482898","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}

They were mainly driven by research on subatomic particles at CERN. However, for automotive, medical and sensor applications Hamamatsu Photonics K. K. invented Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPCs). The MPPC is a Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) containing lots of Geiger-mode Avalanche Photodiodes (G-APD) connected in parallel combining them to a light sensor. The numerous G-APDs are also called pixels. In the Geiger-mode, not just electrons but also holes lead to the creation of an avalanche. Thus, the sensitivity is improved. Their low bias voltage, high gain and excellent photon counting capability make them more and more suitable for sensor applications. In this paper we want to discuss the properties of the 1600 pixel MPPC, create an equivalent circuit diagram and reflect on the benefits of them in sensors for transportation systems.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128690442","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 usually considered as a nonresonant effect determined by the transfer of the momentum of light. However, recently we have observed that large polystyrene microspheres of 15 - 20 μm diameters supporting high quality whispering gallery resonances can be optically propelled in water at an extraordinary high velocity along tapered fibers under resonant conditions. In this work we compare on- and off-resonant optical forces in microspherical photonics by controlling the detuning between the laser emission line and whispering gallery resonances. Our approach involves manipulation with microspheres using conventional optical tweezers and their advanced spectroscopic characterization in fiber-integrated setups. We demonstrate dramatic difference in the optical forces exerted on microspheres in the on-resonant and off-resonant cases. This method can be used to study spectral properties of the resonantly enhanced forces in microspherical photonics.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130373799","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 multiple degrees of freedom offers significant opportunities for the energy efficient transmission of information bits.
