| Research Abstract |
Optical Networks have been expecting for promising high-speed network for applications require a high data transmission rate, low error rate and low delay. In this research, we proposed new optical network architecture for high-speed photonic network which is implemented by all photonic devise. First, we invented the recursive network architecture for non-blocking optical switches and showed that the recursive switch architecture had the good network performance as well as the simple control strategy of self-routing.
We also invented the multi-stage optical switch architecture which has good properties of non-block and crosstalk free. The multi-stage optical switch architecture is a good choice for constructing non-blocking optical switch networks with low signal loss and crosstalk.
Banyan networks with optical switches that are very attractive for serving as the optical switch architectures due to their nice properties of small depth and absolutely signal loss uniformity. We investigated the stacked vertically stacked optical banyan which is combining the horizontal expansion and vertical stacking of optical banyan networks. We have showed that the horizontally expanded and vertically stacked optical banyan networks usually have good properties of non-block and crosstalk free. Also, we study on the blocking behavior analysis and show that the proposed method is an effective approach to studying network performance and finding a graceful compromise among hardware cost, network depth, and blocking probability.
Finally, we study the high survival network systems using a new restoration strategy which achieves the higher restoration performance than proactive restoration. We invented the active restoration strategy to compensate the switch node faults and link faults and achieve the high-survival performance for a large scale networks.
