Title: Optical Communications: What's
happened and What will happen?
Speaker: Dr.
Yan Sun
Place: Stanford University CIS Building (Center for Integrated
Systems), Room 101 (Cypress auditorium)
Fee:
Member free, $10 for non-member , $5 for student
Abstract:
After 40 years of development, optical
fiber communication has moved from laboratory R&D to wide commercial
applications. The technology innovations in recent years, including fiber
amplifiers and WDM systems, provided a solid foundation for this industry.
However, the economic bubble at the turn of the century brought huge damage
to the industry of communication equipment. Optical communication is going
through a bottom this year and will have modest recovery next year. In the
long term, optical communication will see rapid growth again to meet the
demand of fast growing data traffic.
Speaker Bio: Yan Sun is CTO and VP of Engineering at
Onetta, Inc.
Before co-founding Onetta in 2000, Dr. Yan Sun worked at Bell
Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, as a senior manager. He and
his colleagues pioneered multiple fronts in the area of WDM optical
communications, including ultra wide band optical amplifiers, long
haul transmission at terabits levels, and
DWDM
system transmission with semiconductor optical
amplifiers. Dr. Sun was the recipient of several prestigious awards,
including the Bell Labs President Gold Award from Lucent
Technologies and the Innovator of the Year Trophy in Paris, France.
He is the author and co-author of more than 100 publications and
presentations. Dr. Sun is a senior member of IEEE and a member of
OSA, and is a Guest Professor at Tsinghua Univeristy and Southeast

Title:
Optoelectronic Packaging Explorations Into the Low-Cost /High-performance
Zone
Speaker:
Stanford Crane, CTO, Silicon Bandwidth
Place: Stanford University CIS Building
(Center for Integrated Systems), Room 101 (Cypress
auditorium)
Fee:
Member free, $10 for non-member
Abstract:
Are We All Insane?
Optoelectronic
Packaging Explorations Into the Low-Cost/High-performance Zone
The optical
industry depends upon innovation to drive the next generation of systems
for two reasons: they need to operate at increased performance, but more
importantly they must do so at radically lower prices. Additionally,
the support infrastructures (i.e., the electronics systems) are also under
significant pressure to innovate. The goals are very ambitious to the
optoelectronics industry. Technical change is often slow, while
expectations accelerate every day. Has everyone gone insane? Insanity
is continuing the same old thing and expecting different results.
We shall explore
the modern versions of the 14-pin butterfly, TO can and Mini DIL component
products, electrical subsystems, our Asian partners and finally standards
which may have to change in order to achieve the stated goals.

Title:
"Tunable Lasers Enabling the Next Generation Optical Networks"
Speaker:
Rang-Chen Yu, Cinta Networks Inc.
Time:
10:00 am, Saturday, 2/9/02
Place: Stanford University CIS Building
(Center for Integrated Systems), Room 101 (Cypress
auditorium)
Fee:
Member free, $10 for non-member
Abstract: With the explosive internet traffic
growth, the telecommunication infrastructures around the globe are increasingly
dependant on high capacity, intelligent optical networks. For the last few
years, carriers have been deploying DWDM transport equipment en mass, in
reaction to the escalating bandwidth demand. With current telecommunication
capital spending slow down, carriers are more focused on driving maximum
operational efficiency and only deploying equipments that can offer
substantial differentiated service to generate revenue with attractive
return-on-investment (ROI). Despite over all slow down, optical
technologies promise to drive better economics are continuing to advance at
a healthy pace. Tunable lasers are one such example as one of the key
enablers for a more efficient and intelligent next generation optical
networks. In this talk, a broad range of tunable laser technologies, their
pros and cons, and respective vendors are discussed. Particular attention
is paid to the applicability of technology to system applications, and
system design considerations. In addition, complimentary tunable optical component
technologies, such as tunable filter, re-configurable OADM, etc. will also
be discussed. Several novel wavelength agile optical networking systems
based on tunable lasers will be used as examples for discussing tunable
laser applications. Finally, future development of tunable laser,
standardization, and associated dynamic optical technologies will be
summarized.
Speaker's Biography: Rang-Chen Yu, currently
Director of Optical Engineering at Cinta Networks Inc., responsible for
optical system and optical hardware engineering for a tunable laser based
optical core switching and transport networking system platform. He is the
founder of the OIF (Optical Internetworking Forum) Tunable Laser User

laser products. Prior to Cinta, he was Product Engineering Manager at
Bandwidth9, a start-up company developing novel tunable laser products;
Before BW9, he held senior engineering and management positions at SDL (now
part of JDSU) leading high speed transmission product development. Before
SDL, He was a Member of Technical Staff at Conductus leading R&D work
on 10 Gbps optical transmission and cross-connects. he currently holds 5
patents in high speed laser, tunable laser, laser controls, packaging, OADM
subsystems. Rang-Chen got his Ph. D. in Solid State Phycics at University of

Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.
January/2002 EOA January seminar Announcement
Title: "Dynamic Power Equalization of Optical
Networking"
Time: 10:00 am, Saturday, 01/12/02
Place: Stanford University CIS Building
(Center for Integrated Systems), Room 101 (Cypress
auditorium)
Abstract: Power or gain equalization in optical
networking is much needed to optimize signal-to-noise ratio and thus to
maximize the transmission distance. Modern optical networking utilizes
optical amplifiers such as Er-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) to replace the
Optical-Electrical-Optical regenerations (O-E-O) for long haul
transmission. The next generation networking will need to be dynamic and
reconfigurable for cost and performance advantages over the current
generation. Therefore, dynamic power equalization will play
an important role. However, the gain spectra of EDFAs are often uneven at
different gain conditions. This unbalanced power distribution degrades the
signal-to-noise ratio and hence limits the span without O-E-O. This
presentation will review various approaches and technologies for dynamic
power balancing and gain equalization, and compare their advantages and
disadvantages.

Title:
Inteligent optical networks state of the affairs
Time:
10:00 am, Saturday, 12/8/01
Place: Stanford University CIS Building
(Center for Integrated Systems), Room 101 (Cypress
auditorium)
Fee:
Member free, $10 for non-member
Abstract: Minimizing carriers' capital
expenditure and matching their revenue with spending rely heavily on the
architectures of intelligent optical networks. This presentation first
reviews the fundamental needs and applications, including network
protection and restoration, for intelligent optical networks. Traditional
architectures are then detailed concerning their pros and cons. We
introduce a new system that is in general availability status with
architecture that has long lasting and fundamental cost and funtional
advantages over the traditional approaches. These advantages are achieved
by integrating DWDM transport and wavelength switching in a single
platform. It also provides the most linear network growth ability, i.e.,
one wavelength at a time, both on the transport and wavelength switching
using tunable lasers and modular photonic switches.
