CISE Research Instrumentation: Ultra-High-Speed Optical Networks

Kazovsky, Leonid G.斯坦福大学CISE研究仪器：超高速光网络这项研究仪器补助金使研究中所要求的误码率测试集得以利用，包括：光分组交换、光纤非线性和高速通信集成电路。提出的研究目标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。这一目标将通过在10 - 100gb /s范围内运行的新型超高速实验链路和网络的建设和实验研究来实现。所要求的仪器是12gb /s的误码率（BER）测试集，它对拟议的研究至关重要，因为它提供了一种方法：(a)以极高的数据速率生成数据，(b)以如此高的数据速率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结合使用，以测量我们的实验系统在10 - 100 Gb/s范围内的性能。因此，提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实现以前用旧设备无法实现的更高比特率。具体来说，新的误码率测试集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将有助于将比特率提高到每波长40 Gb/s，允许我们将4个10 Gb/s的比特流时分复用到一个40 Gb/s的数据流。斯坦福大学实验室和其他地方的其他几个研究项目将使用请求的误码率测试集。

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.
