Proposal Number: 0447973PI: Daniel Blumenthal Institution: University of California, Santa Barbara Title: Collaborative Research: The future of optical communications: understanding of Choices Abstract: This planning grant brings together the communities of optical networking and optical devices to define new research directions in optical networks over the next decade. New opportunities in optical networking and resulting applications are arising due to innovations in optical integration that is leading to leaps in functionality similar to what (V)LSI brought to electronics forty years ago. Also new ways (physics) to manipulate photons that could not have been predicted a decade ago show promise to change the way optics can fundamentally play a role in networking and communications. The key objectives of this project are to create a common understanding of optical technologies and their roadmap among the network research community and to roadmap photonic integrated technologies and identify which ones have the capability be disruptive and have high impact in pervasive optical network architectures and applications. A primary result of this project is to establish a clear vision to launch new, high impact networking research initiatives in this area. It is also expected that the results of this research will be to create a common framework and working model to enable researchers in the non-technology related subjects, working on interesting problems such control plane and theoretic performance, to understand how optics may affect their work.A primary vehicle for this research is a series of two workshops that brings leaders of the optical and networking communities together to discuss common objectives and identify these new opportunities. The expected outcome of this project is to generate new research areas, topics and cross-disciplinary collaborations that lead to innovative proposals to the NSF and high-impact results.

提案编号：0447973PI： 丹尼尔布卢门塔尔研究所： 加州大学，圣巴巴拉题目：合作研究：光通信的未来：对选择的理解摘要：这项规划拨款汇集了光网络和光器件的社区，以确定未来十年光网络的新研究方向。由于光学集成的创新，光学网络及其应用的新机遇正在出现，这导致了功能的飞跃，类似于四十年前（V）LSI给电子带来的功能。此外，十年前无法预测的操纵光子的新方法（物理学）有望改变光学在网络和通信中发挥作用的方式。该项目的主要目标是在网络研究界建立对光技术及其路线图的共同理解，并确定光子集成技术的路线图，并确定哪些技术具有破坏性，并对普适光网络架构和应用产生重大影响。该项目的一个主要成果是建立一个明确的愿景，在这一领域推出新的，高影响力的网络研究计划。预计本研究的结果将创建一个通用框架和工作模型，使非技术相关学科的研究人员能够研究控制平面和理论性能等有趣的问题，了解光学如何影响他们的工作。这项研究的主要工具是一系列的两个研讨会，将光学和网络社区的领导者聚集在一起，讨论共同的目标和识别这些新的机会。该项目的预期成果是产生新的研究领域，主题和跨学科合作，从而为NSF提供创新建议和高影响力的结果。
