This paper presents views on the future of optical networking. A historical look at the
emergence of optical networking is first taken, followed by a discussion on the drivers …

The use of discrete but interconnected SOA–MZI switches for performing logical and highly
functional processing tasks, demonstrating the multi-functional potential of the photonic …

Rapidly increasing network traffic is posing a challenge to the construction of future routers.
While high-capacity transport has kept pace with rising traffic demands through the use of …

We demonstrate an all-optical circuit that simultaneously performs packet-by-packet clock
recovery (CR) and data demodulation from 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero differential-phase-shift …

We propose a simple all-optical clock recovery technique for short data packets at 160 Gb/s,
and beyond, which is based on the concept of using a Fabry-Peacuterot filter (FPF). The …

We report a 40 Gb/s burst mode optical clock recovery (BM-OCR) by injection locking a
dynamically switched quantum dash mode-locked laser diode. We investigated in detail the …

Hybrid photonic integration with passive assembly techniques allows compact optical
modules to be realised with high optical performance and low packaging cost. Recent …

We propose and demonstrate a new structure of a Data Vortex switch node for all-optical
routing of wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) 10-Gb/s optical packets. The proposed …

We demonstrate the cascaded operation of an all-optical 2R burst-mode regenerator
consisting of a single Mach-Zehnder interferometer, using a loop configuration that …
