    45 GHz bandwidth-efficiency resonant cavity enhanced ITO-Schottky photodiodes
    (OSA, 2001) Bıyıklı, Necmi; Kimukin, İbrahim; Aytür, Orhan; Özbay, Ekmel; Gökkavas, M.; Ünlü, M. S.
    We demonstrated high-performance resonant cavity enhanced ITO-Schottky photodiodes. We achieved a peak efficiency of 75% around 820 nm with a 3-dB bandwidth of 60 GHz resulting in a bandwidth-efficiency product of 45 GHz.

    High-speed transparent indium-tin-oxide based resonant cavity Schottky photodiode with Si/sub 3/N/sub 4//SiO/sub 2/ top Bragg mirror
    (IEEE, Piscataway, NJ, United States, 2000) Bıyıklı, Necmi; Kimukin, I.; Aytur, O.; Özbay, Ekmel; Gokkavas, M.; Unlu, S.
    Photodetectors demonstrating high bandwidth-efficiency (BWE) products are required for high-performance optical communication and measurement systems. For conventional photodiodes the BWE product is limited due to the bandwidth-efficiency trade-off. A resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetection scheme offers the possibility to overcome this limitation. Very high BWE products are achieved using Schottky and p-i-n type RCE photodiodes, which could not be reached with conventional detector structures. Even better performances should be possible for RCE Schottky photodiodes if one can get rid of the optical losses and scattering caused by the Schottky metal, Au, which also serves as the top mirror of the resonant cavity. The transparent, low resistivity material indium-tin-oxide (ITO) is a potential alternative to thin semi-transparent Au as a Schottky-barrier contact material. We report our work on high-performance ITO-based RCE Schottky photodiodes.

    Packet loss analysis of synchronous buffer-less optical switch with shared limited range wavelength converters
    (IEEE, 2007) Raffaelli, C.; Savi, M.; Akar, Nail; Karasan, Ezhan
    Application of synchronous optical switches in Optical Packet/Burst switched networks is considered. The shared per node architectural concept, where wavelength converters are shared among all input and output channels, is applied for contention resolution in the wavelength domain. A semi-analytical traffic model suitable to represent the different contributions to packet loss is proposed and validated. Full and limited range wavelength conversion capabilities are considered, and loss results obtained to support switch design. An approximated fully analytical approach for the limited range case is also described and comparison with simulation results is presented to assess the capability to capture the main aspects of packet loss behavior.
