• Optical IP Switching — (OIS), is a novel method of creating transparent optical connections between network nodes using a flow based approach. An IP flow is a collection of IP packets going from the same source to the same destination: the exchange of IP packets is the …   Wikipedia

• Optical ring resonators — consist of a waveguide in a closed loop coupled to one or more input/output (or bus) waveguides. When light of the appropriate wavelength is coupled to the loop by the input waveguide, it builds up in intensity over multiple round trips due to… …   Wikipedia

• Optical axis grating — Optical axis gratings (OAGs) are gratings of optical axis of a birefringent material. In OAGs, the birefringence of the material is constant, while the direction of optical axis is periodically modulated in a fixed direction. In this way they are …   Wikipedia

• Optical buffer — In telecommunications, an optical buffer is a device that is capable of temporarily storing light. Just as in the case of a regular buffer, it is a storage medium that enables compensation for a difference in time of occurrence of events. More… …   Wikipedia

• Optical amplifier — An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from… …   Wikipedia

• Optical neural network — An optical neural network is a physical implementation of an artificial neural network with optical components. Some artificial neural networks that have been implemented as optical neural networks include the Hopfield neural network[1][2] and… …   Wikipedia

• Optical burst switching — (OBS) is an optical networking technique that allows dynamic sub wavelength switching of data. OBS is viewed as a compromise between the yet unfeasible full optical packet switching (OPS) and the mostly static optical circuit switching (OCS). It… …   Wikipedia
