We propose the Photonic Gateway to provide direct and protocol-independent optical connections between any two user sites. An experimental demonstration verifies the feasibility of the Photonic Gateway and an optical-path setup procedure of the prototypes.
We experimentally evaluate the transmission characteristics of AMCC superposition with an SOA-integrated EA-DFB transmitter for the All-Photonics Network. The results demonstrate that direct optical connections with the power budget of 34.6 dB are achievable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
