Multidisciplinary Optical Switching Technology Center (MOST).

摘要

This MURI grant was reviewed within the overall program in July of 1998 by government science and technology managers from DARPA, BMDO, and DDRandE as well as by the AFOSR program manager and found superlative in achieving stated goals and program objectives. Documentation of specific technical progress is retained with the grant funding records in the form of annual technical reports. The MOST center successfully addressed the following aspects of optical switching technology within the MURI program: 3D Waveguide Interconnect Technologies; 40 Obps All-Optical Wavelength Conversion and Packet Routing; Optical Packet Schedulers and Optical Internet Protocol Routers; 4x4 Switches with integrated gain Hybrid Polymer/Semiconductor Waveguide Devices; OEO Wavelength Converters and Crossbar Switches; Ultrafast optical communications with space-time multiplexers.
