Th4.5 - Post-Deadline Session 5
Chair: Will Stewart, ECOC General Co-Chair, United Kingdom

Post deadline sessions are all a standard 15 (12 +3) minutes.

Th4.5.1 16.00 – 16.15
All-optical Asynchronous Variable-length Optically Labelled 40Gbps Packet Switch
D Wolfson, V Lal, M Mašanović, H N Poulsen, D J Blumenthal, University of California, United States, C Coldren, Agility Communications, United States G Epps, D Civello, P Donner, Cisco Systems, United States

We describe the operation of a packet switch that dynamically forwards 40Gbps optical packets based on asynchronously recovered 10Gbps optical headers using highly-integrated InP photonic circuits. Results of both Layer 1 and Layer 2 performance measurements are presented.

Th4.5.2 16.15 – 16.30
Load-Balanced Optical Packet Router based on 40 Gb/s Wavelength Converters and Time Buffers
J Gripp, J E Simsarian, P Bernasconi, J D Le Grange, L Zhang, L Buhl, D Stiliadis, D T Neilson, M Zirngibl, Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, United States

We demonstrate a load-balanced optical packet router that scales to 256 Tbps. The router consists of two stages of integrated SOA-based 40 Gbps wavelength converters, large NxN AWGs and fibre-delay lines.

Th4.5.3 16.30 – 16.45
Demonstration of 12-user, 10.71 Gbps Truly Asynchronous OCDMA using FEC and a Pair of Multi-port Optical-Encoder/Decoders
X Wang, N Wada, T Miyazaki, NICT, Japan, G Cincotti, University of Roma, Italy, K Kitayama, Osaka University, Japan

For the first time, arrayed-waveguide-grating-based multi-port optical encoder/decoder and forward-error-correction technique are applied in OCDMA system. A novel 12-user, 10.71 Gbps truly asynchronous OCDMA experiment has been successfully demonstrated to transmit ITU-T G.709 OTN frames

Th4.5.4 16.45 – 17.00
A Novel Optical Frontend for Ultra-high Capacity of 32x2.5Gbit/s Data Delivery in Radio-Over-Fibre Systems
J Yu, Z Jia, G-K Chang, Georgia Institute of Technology, United States

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a novel scheme based on optical carrier suppression modulation to realise 32x2.5Gbit/s DWDM signals simultaneous up-conversion in a radio-over-fibre network.

Th4.5.5 17.00 -17.15
An Optically Pumped Silicon Evanescent Laser
A W Fang, H Park, J E Bowers, University of California, United States, S Kodama, NTT Photonics Laboratories, Japan

A laser utilising wafer scale heterogenous integration of silicon waveguides with offset AlGaInAs quantum wells is demonstrated. This laser has a threshold of 30 mW and a maximum power of 1.4 mW and has the ability to integrate photonic devices with Si VLSI CMOS technology.

Th4.5.6 17.15 – 17.30
Electromagnetically-Induced Transparency and Saturable Absorption in All-Fiber Devices Based on Acetylene-Filled Hollow-Core PCF
P S Light, F Couny, F Benabid, P S J Russell, University of Bath, United Kingdom

We report on the development of two all-fiber devices based on a hermetically sealed hollow-core-PCF filled with acetylene at sub-millibar pressure. One device is designed for the generation of electromagneticallyinduced transparency and the other for saturable absorption.
