On-chip silicon photonic controllable 2 × 2 four-mode waveguide switch
Multimode optical switch is a key component of mode division multiplexing in modern high-speed optical signal processing. In this paper, we introduce for the first time a novel 2 × 2 multimode switch design and demonstrate in the proof-of-concept.

Ultrafast and energy-efficient all-optical switching with graphene-loaded deep-subwavelength plasmonic waveguides [PDF]
All-optical switches have attracted attention because they can potentially overcome the speed limitation of electric switches. However, ultrafast, energy-efficient all-optical switches have been challenging to realize due to the intrinsically small optical nonlinearity in existing materials.

We theoretically analyze the optical and optomechanical nonlinearity present in a hybrid system consisting of a quantum dot(QD) coupled to an optomechanical cavity in the presence of a nonlinear Kerr medium, and show that this hybrid system can be used ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Optical memory based on ultrafast wavelength switching in a bistable microlaser [PDF]
We propose an optical memory cell based on ultrafast wavelength switching in coupled-cavity microlasers, featuring bistability between modes separated by several nanometers. A numerical implementation is demonstrated by simulating a two-dimensional photonic crystal microlaser. Switching times of less than 10 ps, switching energy around 15--30 fJ and on-

Equivalent random analysis of a buffered optical switch with general interarrival times [PDF]
We propose an approximate analytic model of an optical switch with fibre delay lines and wavelength converters by employing Equivalent Random Theory. General arrival traffic is modelled by means of Gamma-distributed interarrival times.

BER performance analysis of 100 and 200 Gbit/s all-optical OTDM node using symmetric Mach-Zehnder switches [PDF]
New insight to the feasibility of all-optical ultra speed switching up to 200 Gb/s. The technique will reduce the dependency and bottleneck on the electronic-to-optical-to-electronic conversion.
