Interplay of morphology, composition, and optical properties of InP-based quantum dots emitting at the 1.55 $\mu$m telecom wavelength Universiteit Antwerpen
Results for the development and detailed analysis of self-organized InAs/InAlGaAs/InP quantum dots suitable for single-photon emission at the 1.55 mu m telecom wavelength are reported. The structural and compositional properties of the system are obtained from high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy of individual quantum dots. The system is composed of almost pure InAs quantum dots embedded in quaternary InAlGaAs barrier ...

Design and prototyping of self-centering optical single-mode fiber alignment structures Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The European Commission's goal of providing each European household with at least a 30 Mb s(-1) Internet connection by 2020 would be facilitated by a widespread deployment of fibre-to-the-home, which would in turn be sped up by the development of connector essential components, such as high-precision alignment features. Currently, the performance of state-of-the-art physical contact optical fiber connectors is limited by the tolerance on the ...

Heterogeneously integrated microdisk lasers for optical interconnects and optical logic Universiteit Gent
Optical interconnect and optical packet switching systems could take advantage of small footprint, low power lasers and optical logic elements. Microdisk lasers, with a diameter below 10 mu m and fabricated in InP membranes with a high index contrast, offer this possibility at the telecom wavelengths. The lasers are fabricated using heterogeneous integration of InP membranes on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) passive waveguide circuits, which allows ...
Optical time-domain reflectometry simulations of passive optical networks: a linear time-invariant system approach for arbitrary pulses Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We present a comprehensive mathematical formalism, together with its numerical implementation, for optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) simulations with the ability to produce OTDR traces of passive optical point-to-multipoint networks (PONs). According to our knowledge, the proposed OTDR simulator is the first one with this feature, thus progressing beyond the existing state of the art of OTDR simulations. In our approach, the optical fiber ...
Scheduling in optical switching: deploying shared wavelength converters more effectively Universiteit Gent
As internet traffic will further increase in coming years, the current network infrastructure will have to grow along in terms of capacity. To this end, optical packet/burst switching have been proposed, allowing more efficient use of the available fiber capacity. To resolve packet contention in the involved optical switches, Fiber Delay Lines (for delay assignment) and wavelength converters (for wavelength conversion) are used to reschedule the ...
