  2. Contents • Overview of header processing in optical networks • Header processing based on pulse-position modulation (PPM) and the proposed node architecture • Header extraction module (HEM) • Simulation results: HEM, Node and Network Performances • Summary

  3. Demand traffic [bit/s] NEC-2001 1P 100T 10T 1T 100G 10G 1G 100M Total Data Voice 1995 2000 2005 2010 Year Optical Communication Network (OCN) • Future OCNs: faster signal processing and switching to cope with the increase of the demanding network traffic • Existing OCNs: depends on electronic devices for processing the packet address to obtain the routing path. However, the limitation ofelectronic responsewill cause thespeed bottleneck • Solution:All-optical processing & switching  Photonic network

  4. Optical transparent path Future OCNs • Future OCN will have the processing and switching data packets entirely in optical domain, i.e. generateoptical transparent pathfor routing data packets •  Require:compactandscalableprocessing scheme

  5. N-bit Port 1 ? Port 2 Port 3 Current All-optical Processing Scheme Routing table (RT) Example:N = 4, node with M = 3 • All-optical logic gates • All-optical correlators • Problems: • Large size routing tableincreased processing time • Optical device complexitypoor scalability • Solution: • Reduce the size of the routing table

  8. PPRT Generation • Is self-initialised with the extracted clock pulse. The M entries are filled by: • Single optical pulse + Array of 2N optical delay lines; Or, • M pattern generators + M optical modulators.

  9. PPM Based Routing Table Pulse-position routing table (N = 4, M = 3) • Grouping address patterns having the same output ports • Each new pulse-position routing table (PPRT) entry has optical pulses at the positions corresponding to the decimal values of group’s patterns

  10. Processing-time gain: Header Correlation Matched • Single AND operation is required for matching PPM-address and multiple address patterns (PPRT entry)

  13. Problem: Multiple pulseat the PCM-ACM output instead of onlyy(t) SPC due to low switching extinction ratio of SW HEM: PPM-ACM 1- N-bit address-codeword: A = [ai {0,1}], i = 0, …, N–1 2- PPM-format address: y(t) = x(t + iai2iTs)

  14. SW HEM: PPM-ACM Solution: Combine 2 SMZs in their complement switching modes by single control pulse 1- SMZ1 in ON state  SMZ2 in OFF state 2- SMZ1 in OFF state  SMZ2 in ON state Achieved high switching extinction ratio for SW (>30 dB)

Conclusions • PPM processing scheme • Reduces the required processing time • Provides the scalability: adding/dropping network nodes and node outputs • Applications: • All-optical core/backbone networks (N > M ~ 3-6) • Optical bypass router (electrical router + optical bypass router) • Challenges: • Optical switch with long and variable switching window • Timing jitter and received pulse dispersion
