In light of future 5G mobile networks moving toward decentralization based on cloudlets, intelligent base stations, and MEC, the inherent distributed processing and storage capabilities of radio-and-fiber(R&F) networks may be exploited for new applications, e.g., cognitive assistance, augmented reality, or cloud robotics. In this paper, we first revisit fiber-wireless(Fi Wi) networks in the context of conventional clouds and emerging cloudlets, thereby highlighting the limitations of conventional radio-overfiber(Ro F) networks such as China Mobile's centralized cloud radio access network(C-RAN) to meet the aforementioned trends. Furthermore, we pay close attention to the specific design challenges of data center networks and revisit our switchless arrayedwaveguide grating(AWG) based network with efficient support of east-west flows and enhanced scalability.展开更多

The method reveals the random distributions of optical path phase errors in twomultiplexers with channel numbers of 10 and 160. It is shown that the crosstalk must be less than―28 dB for a power penalty below 1 dB at a bit error rate of 1X10^(-9). It is found that when N =100, crosstalk power value is ? 20 dB with compensation power of 2―3 dB, so the compensation poweris not ignored.展开更多

The three typical architectures including the broadcast-and-select based Optical Shared Memory Supercomputer Interconnect System (OSMOSIS) switch, the defection routing based Data Vortex switch and the arrayed waveguide grating based Low-latency Interconnect Optical Network Switch (LIONS) switch are discussed in detail. In particular, we investigate the various Ioopback buffering technologies in LIONS and present a proof of principle testbed demonstration showing feasibility of LIONS architecture. Moreover, the performance of LIONS, Data Vortex and OSMOSIS with traditional state-of-the-art electrical switching network based on the Flattened-ButterFly (FBF) architecture in terms of throughput and latency are compared. The sinmlation based perfortmnce study shows that the latency of LIONS is almost independent of the number of input ports and does not saturate even at very high input load.展开更多

By subtracting an increment from the core width of odd arrayed waveguides and by adding the same increment to that of even arrayed waveguides,a box-like spectral response can be obtained. A 17 × 17 polymer AWG multiplexer with box- like spectral response has been made using FPE polymer materials. Measured result for the AWG shows that the box-like spectral response has a 3dB bandwidth of 0. 476nm, the crosstalk is about or less than - 21dB for every output channel,and the insertion loss is 13-15dB.展开更多
