The concept of a miniature all-optical space switch based on the photonic hook effect
We propose and discuss main properties of a new concept of an all-optical dielectric two-channel wavelength-selective switch based on the photonic hook effect. A prototype of such a de-vice based on dielectric microstructures with broken symmetry of both

Large-Scale and Simple-Configuration Optical Switch Enabled by Asymmetric-Port-Count Subswitches
We propose a novel optical switch architecture for intra-datacenter interconnection. The proposed switch consists of asymmetric-port-count delivery-and-coupling (DC) switches and wavelength-routing (WR) switches based on arrayed-waveguide gratings (AWGs).

Slow light in molecular aggregates nanofilms [PDF]
We study slow light performance of molecular aggregates arranged in nanofilms by means of coherent population oscillations (CPO). The molecular cooperative behavior inside the aggregate enhances the delay of input signals in the GHz range in comparison ...
