KEY RESEARCH WORK

 

Ultra-high data rate of 100 Gbps transmission for long-haul and metro access

Evaluate 100 Gbps generation and modulation techniques, linear and non-linear impairment impacts, transmission performance over commercially available network elements such as ROADMs, WSS modules

Next-generation Optical-Wireless inter-connection for high-performance computing (HPC) and Server System

Developed spectral efficient 25GHz spaced bi-directional 10-Gbps DWDM-PON using DPSK and Duobinary modulation and wavelength reusing techniques

Demonstrated scheme to eliminate Rayleigh backscattering noise in the long-reach (over 20km) bi-directional single fiber WDM-PON system

Developed a multi-failure protection/restoration scheme for high throughput bi-directional 10Gbps colorless WDM-PON system that can centrally protect simultaneous multiple failure of feeder fiber, distribution fiber, remote node and optical transmitter at the central office.

Developed instantaneous clock recovery scheme for the upstream burst mode signal in next-generation 10Gbps TDM PON using centralized clock distribution

Developed enabling technologies such as optical label generation and encoding method, label swapping scheme, optical buffering etc. for optical label switching (OLS) networks.

Developed novel schemes of optical label generation and label swapping for same wavelength data switching without using any wavelength converter.

Demonstrated wavelength selective reconfigurable optical fiber delay buffer for DWDM optical packet switched (OPS) networks.

Developed distributed fiber optic sensing system for intruder detection exploiting polarization in optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) with improved sensitivity using Raman amplification and Complementary correlated Goley codes.

Investigated system requirements, purchased necessary lab equipments, implemented proof-of concept experimental testbed setup.

Developed signal processing software tools for detection and localization of intruder events in this distributed sensing system

Developed spectrally efficient 40 Gbps system over 50 GHz DWDM transmission system

Developed simulation for 40 Gbps DPSK systems using VPI TransmissionMaker for cross-verification of the simulation and experimental results.

Developed Label Switch Control Protocol (LSCP) server/agent software using C++ in Sun Solaris and Windows NT to manage network element in OLS testbed. The LSCP is used by the network control and management (NC&M) using TCP/IP to provide element management functionality of the OLS nodes.

Developed network interface driver in Visual C++ to control/configure OLS network element

Developed OSPF/BGP4/RSVP/LDP extension and enhancements using C/C++ in UNIX to support routing and traffic engineering capabilities in OLS network.

Designed and developed graphical user interface (GUI) craft program (Clapper) using MFC Visual C++ for OLS network testbed. The behavior of the clapper is like NC&M upper layer application software and can be used to test the functionality of the lower layer interfaces.

Designed and developed switch control software using C++ to configure Lithium Niobate optical switch fabric used in the same OLS testbed project.

Developed simulation programs using OpNet Modeler simulation tool and C++ for studying network performance measures of the NGI testbed.

Developed SNMP MIB extension using AdventNet SNMP utility tool for OLS

Designed NGI OLS testbed architecture and switch-node architecture.

Developed prototype Home Networking System using Java and C++ in a

Design Multicast Switching Architecture of the Variable Network-Grain Optical Global Highway (VaNGOGH) testbed proposal to DARPA.

Wrote DARPA quarterly report on research and design activities.
