Abstract: We investigate the scalability of a prototype 640 Gbit/s/port optical packet switched system. Based on the expected new component parameters by extensive simulations a scalability of 8 nodes ...

An Ethernet transceiver from Firecomms of Cork, Ireland, now comes in a housing that allows instant termination of bare plastic optical fibre (POF). The company says the new POF port, OptoLock, on the ...

Abstract: Switches-based hybrid architecture has attracted much attention, especially in directional-of-arrival (DOA) sensing, due to its ability of significantly reducing the hardware cost by ...

What will optical communications be capable of in the next decade? Transmission of 10 Tbit s −1 over a single fibre and a reconfigurable transparent network are two possibilities. The second is the ...
