When the pump beam is resonantly coupled to the BSW, our results demonstrate a lower bound for the SERS-enhancement of about 50. A photo-luminescence (PL) experiment performed on the same structure shows an emission enhancement in excess of two orders of magnitude, suggesting an actual SERS-enhancement of 200, in agreement with theoretical calculations. These findings suggest that purely dielectric BSW-based structures can be a valid alternative to plasmonic substrates for enhanced Raman and photo-luminescence spectroscopy.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"86 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":"116072957","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 computing and storage facilities migrate to a shared pool of resources which are mainly hosted in the data centers, the traffic intensity in the backbone is expected to increase tremendously. Consequently, power consumption of the network equipment, as well as the data centers, is expected to increase the operational costs of the network and data center operators. In this paper, we present possible solutions to reduce the operational costs of the operators via virtualization of an IP over WDM backbone network with optical bypass in the presence of dynamic electricity pricing. Based on the cyber-physical properties of the data centers and look-ahead demand profile of the cloud-based services, virtualization of the optical backbone network is reconfigured in order to accommodate all demands with the objective of minimum operational cost for the network and data center operators. Through simulations, we show that efficient utilization and reconfiguration of the optical backbone enables cost-efficient and sustainable cloud communications.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"18 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":"125590587","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 prepared NPs with diameters of 15 - 20 nm, had different compositions, i.e. gold molar fractions (GMF) x, ranging from x = 0 (pure Ag) to x = 1 (pure Au) and they were exhibiting surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak whose spectral position and strength were varying depending on GMF. The AuxAg(1-x) NPs were found to exhibit negative nonlinear refraction, corresponding to self-defocusing behavior and negligible nonlinear absorption. The nonlinear optical response of the AuxAg(1-x) alloy nanoparticles was found to be strongly dependent on the GMF of the nanoalloy, since the surface plasmon resonance peak enhances the nonlinear optical response of the metallic nanoalloys when it is close to the excitation wavelength.","PeriodicalId":376939,"journal":{"name":"2013 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"2013 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":"125894332","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}

In today's networks, data are transferred across the network as a combination of a series of packets, delivered one by one, without considering the data in their entirety with respective service level requirements. The so called elephant data, which may be less sensitive to transfer delay, compete precious network resources with mice data, in most cases from interactive and delay sensitive applications. Consequently, the Quality of Service (QoS) of interactive applications is hard to provision, and the utility of network is low. We propose a new data transfer model to complement the existing per-packet forwarding paradigm. In the new data transfer model, a service level requirement is assigned (by the data source) to each big data transfer request. Instead of transferring these data on per-packet bases immediately upon entering the network, the network stores the data until it find necessary, or enough network resource is available for that transfer. The scheduled data delivery is realized through the use of dynamic circuit switching. We also present some preliminary simulation results of SSS networks.","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":"129239720","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}
