- We describe the principle and analyze the operation of an integrated optics directional coupler filter based on coupling between a regular waveguide and one, that exhibits electromagnetically induced transparency. Bandwidth length products on the order of 2 pm x mm are obtainable, as an example, using this approach.

- We propose and analyze an optical modulator based on intersubband transitions. The absorption is modulated by modulating the carrier density in the ground state of a quantum well (QW). Electrons are injected resonantly into this subband from a QW reservoir subband through a single barrier. When the two states are tuned out of resonance, the electrons are rapidly evacuated by means of the optical held, A waveguide based on surface plasmons is assumed in order to have a high optical mode overlap. Calculations are performed for a cascaded structure with four periods, assuming InGaAs-InAlAs QWs, The considered modulator structure operates at lambda =6.0 mum and is RC limited to 27 GHz, An extinction ratio of it is obtained with a low applied voltage of 0.6 V, At larger applied voltages, the absorption is bistable, Absorption at shorter/longer wavelengths can be obtained by using materials with a larger/smaller conduction band offset. We also assess resonant tunneling from a 2-D electron gas reservoir into an array of quantum dots and compare it to the 2-D-2-D tunneling resonance.

- In this paper, the reliability performance of 128 x 128 optical cross-connects (OXCs) based on microelectrooptomechanical systems (MEOMS) switch matrices is considered. First, we compare a strictly nonblocking wavelength selective switch with a strictly nonblocking three-stage Clos architecture. The probability of maintenance of free operation has been investigated for both OXC structures. We present our calculation results for such commonly used reliability measures as mean time between failures (MTBF), mean downtime (MDT) per year, and steady-state unavailability. It is shown that the reliability performances of the considered OXCs are far from that requested. In this paper, we also investigate possibilities of improving the reliability performance of the considered OXCs by introducing shared redundancy of the MEOMS matrices. We propose two different protection schemes: one for the wavelength selective switch [1] and another for the three-stage Clos architecture. It is shown that the proposed protection schemes significantly improve the reliability performance for both cases. Finally, we compare the performance of the all-optical version of the OXC based on MEOMS matrices with the optoelectronic version of the OXC based on electronic cross-point switch matrices. It is shown that from a reliability viewpoint, the optical cross-connect based on MEOMS matrices is better than that with electrical cross-point switches. The influence of capacity expansion on the system reliability is discussed.
