  • Patent number: 8068484
    Abstract: A method for enhancing transmission efficiency of burst data by estimating a void between burst data and filling the void with new burst data in an optical burst switching (OBS) network. To this end, a node in the OBS network receives burst data (BD) aggregated from data packets, and a burst control packet (BCP) that is received prior to the BD by an offset time. The BCP contains information relating to the offset time and the BD. To predict the void between the BDs, a void filling time is defined within the offset time using the BCP. The present invention provides the method for determining whether to fill the void and filling the void by directly monitoring the BD over a preset time.

    Abstract: A high-speed wavelength selectable optical source and a method thereof are disclosed. The wavelength selectable optical source includes at least one optical source having a multimode oscillation spectrum, a demultiplexer and an optical switch for extracting light having a certain selected wavelength. A certain wavelength can be selected among the multimode wavelengths using the demultiplexer and the optical switch, and thus the wavelength can discontinuously be tuned at high speed. Also, by making the light having the selected wavelength incident to the multimode optical source, the power of the output light can uniformly be maintained and maximized through injection locking.
