9729719卡索夫斯基，莱昂尼德·G·斯坦福大学CEISE研究仪器：超高速光纤网络这项研究仪器赠款使所请求的误码率测试集能够在研究中使用，这些研究包括：-光分组交换、-光纤非线性和-高速通信集成电路。提出的研究目的是探索光纤的多太赫兹带宽潜力，以支持超高速波分复用(WDM)光链路和网络。这一目标将通过建设和实验研究在10-100 GB/S范围内运行的新型超高速实验链路和网络来实现。所要求的仪器是12 Gb/S误码率测试集，对于拟议的研究至关重要，因为它提供了一种方法来(A)在极高的数据速率下生成数据，(B)在如此高的数据速率下测试实验链路和网络的误码率性能。误码率测试集将在我们的实验中与外部时分和波分复用一起使用，以测量我们实验系统在10-100 GB/S范围内的性能。因此，拟议的仪器将对我们的研究产生强烈的积极影响，因为它将使我们能够朝着以前较旧设备无法达到的更高比特率迈进。具体地说，新的误码率测试仪将用于我们连接斯坦福大学和Sprint ATL的84公里WDM实验环网。该网络目前以每波长2.5 Gb/S的速度运行。提出的误码率测试集允许我们将四个10 Gb/S码流时分复用成一个40 Gb/S数据流，从而将比特率提高到每波长40 Gb/S。实验室和斯坦福大学其他地方的其他几个研究项目将利用所要求的误码率测试集。

9729719 Kazovsky, Leonid G. Stanford University CISE Research Instrumentation: Ultra-High-Speed Optical Networks This research instrumentation grant enables the utilization of the requested BER test set in studies which include:- optical packet switching,- fiber nonlinearities, and- high-speed communication integrated circuits. The objective of proposed research is to explore the multi-TeraHertz bandwidth potential of optical fibers to support ultra-high-speed, wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical links and networks. That objective will be achieved via construction and experimental investigation of novel ultra-high-speed experimental links and networks operating in the 10 - 100 Gb/s range. The requested instrument, a 12 Gb/s bit error rate (BER) test set, is vitally important for the proposed research as it provides a means to (a) generate data at extremely high data rates and(b) test BER performance of experimental links and networks at such high data rates. The BER test set will be used in our experiments in conjunction with external time-division and wavelength-division multiplexing to measure the performance of our experimental systems in the 10 - 100 Gb/s range. Thus, the proposed instrument will have a strong positive impact on our research as it will allow us to move toward much higher bit rates previously inaccessible with older equipment. Specifically, the new BER test set will be used in our 84 km WDM experimental ring network interconnecting Stanford University with Sprint ATL. The network currently operates at 2.5 Gb/s per wavelength. The proposed BER test set will help to increase the bit rate to 40 Gb/s per wavelength by allowing us to time-division-multiplex four 10 Gb/s bit streams into a 40 Gb/s data stream. Several additional research projects in the laboratory and elsewhere at Stanford will utilize the requested BER test set.
