Among other photodiode technologies, the uni-travelling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) has been a breakthrough in reaching high speed and high output power simultaneously. Consequently, UTC-PDs have been employed in numerous photonic applications ranging from spectroscopic sensing to wireless communications. In this work, we present broadband waveguide-type modified uni-traveling-carrier photodiodes (MUTC-PDs) providing mW output power levels up to the terahertz range. The fabricated MUTC-PDs are indium phosphide (InP) based photodiodes with coplanar waveguide (CPW) outputs. Maximum output power levels measured by using a calorimeter (PM5B) at 30 GHz, 150 GHz and 320 GHz are +12.2 dBm, +6.1 dBm and −4.6 dBm, respectively.","PeriodicalId":393642,"journal":{"name":"2023 23rd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"362 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115193924","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 algorithm is aware of the requestable connection sizes and rates thereof. This awareness enables the calculation, for each possible void size and assignment policy, of the expected idle slot-time integral until the void is either fully occupied or coalesced into a new void by the termination of a neighboring connection. Idleness minimization may then be obtained by comparison among all possible on-arrival assignment policies when starting at each possible void size and choosing among all available voids the one that yields maximal reward in terms of reduction of the expected idleness, assuming the new connection is placed next to one of its edges. Since the number of policies grows exponentially with the number of requestable connection sizes, a scalability issue is identified.","PeriodicalId":393642,"journal":{"name":"2023 23rd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115506308","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 intense field localization leads to significant enhancement in the efficiency of nonlinear optical processes from the UV to the near IR range: second harmonic generation (SHG) conversion efficiencies increase three orders of magnitude compared to a flat gold mirror, while third harmonic generation (THG) conversion efficiency increases by nearly four orders of magnitude. The spectral and angular dependence (qualitative and quantitative) of the harmonics were experimentally recorded and validated within the framework of our own theoretical model, that we employ to simulate SHG and THG efficiencies. Our approach consists of an expanded microscopic hydrodynamic model that captures the dynamics of both free and bound electrons, and faithfully describes the basic electrodynamic behaviour of linear and nonlinear optics of metals at the nanoscale.","PeriodicalId":393642,"journal":{"name":"2023 23rd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114405496","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}

If such connectivity services require isolation (slicing), such delay estimation should not be limited to a maximum value defined in the Service Level Agreement, but to a finer-grained description of the expected delay in the form of, e.g., a continuous function of the load. Obtaining accurate end-to-end (e2e) delay modeling is even more challenging in a multi-operator (Multi-AS) scenario, where the provisioning of e2e connectivity services is provided across heterogeneous multi-operator (Multi-AS or just domains) networks. In this work, we propose a collaborative environment, where each domain models intra-domain delay components of inter-domain paths and share those models with a broker system providing the e2e connectivity services. The broker, in turn, models the delay of inter-domain links based on e2e monitoring and the received intra-domain models.","PeriodicalId":393642,"journal":{"name":"2023 23rd International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122131573","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}
