High energy optical fiber amplifier for picosecond-nanosecond pulses for advanced material processing applications

InactiveUS20050041702A1Sufficient bandwidthImprove mode qualityActive medium shape and constructionNon-linear opticsPulse energyNonlinear fiber
A fiber-based source for high-energy picosecond and nanosecond pulses is described. By minimizing nonlinear energy limitations in fiber amplifiers, pulse energies close to the damage threshold of optical fibers can be generated. The implementation of optimized seed sources in conjunction with amplifier chains comprising at least one nonlinear fiber amplifier allows for the generation of near bandwidth-limited high-energy picosecond pulses. Optimized seed sources for high-energy pulsed fiber amplifiers comprise semiconductor lasers as well as stretched mode locked fiber lasers. The maximization of the pulse energies obtainable from fiber amplifiers further allows for the generation of high-energy ultraviolet and IR pulses at high repetition rates.

Efficient compression using differential caching

A technique for increased efficiency of content delivery over a network is described. Instances of web pages are divided into (1) templates including those elements of a web page that are relatively unchanging and (2) delta information including those elements that are ephemeral or customized. Each template is compressed and cached at an originating server. Transmission of the delta information is decoupled from transmission of the template. When a user requests a page, the compressed template is sent (either from an originating server or a mirror thereof). The delta information is compressed and sent separately. Since the template is only compressed once and is cached locally, it requires less bandwidth and allocation of other computing resources to transmit than transmission of a compressed web page.

A multicasting authorization system comprises a streaming server, an authorization server, a user system and a distribution server. The distribution server provides a multicast data stream over multicast channels. A user system requests and receives an authorization code from an authorization server to receive the multicast data stream, and provides the authorization code to a streaming server. A streaming server, coupled to both an authorization server and a user system sends start up information for accessing the multicast data stream to the user system upon validation of the authorization code. The multicast datastream is encrypted and the user system maintains a connection with the authorization server which provides a cryptographic key for use in decrypting the encrypted multicast datastream.

Method and apparatus for segmentation and reassembly of data packets in a communication switch

A method and apparatus for segmenting and forwarding data packets received in a communication switch is presented. The method begins by receiving a packet that includes a destination that determines forwarding parameters. As the packet is being received, segmentation cells are created from portions of the packet received where each segmentation cell is provided to a switching fabric as soon as creation of the segmentation cell is completed. When an end portion of the packet is received, verification of proper receipt of the packet is performed. When it is determined that the packet has been received successfully, a verification data set is generated based on segmentation cells that have been utilized to forward the packet. The verification data set is then included in a final segmentation cell that is provided to the switching fabric. Such a verification data set can then be used by an egress line card that receives the segmentation cells to verify proper receipt of the segmentation cells. If it is determined that the packet has not been successfully received, a purging data set is generated instead of the verification data set. Such a purging data set is then included in the final segmentation cell that is provided to the switching fabric, where the purging data set preferably causes any egress line card to purge the corrupted packet rather than forwarding it.

Minimizing Bandwidth Narrowing Penalties in a Wavelength Selective Switch Optical Network

This invention relates to provisioning wavelength-selective switches and reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers to minimize the bandwidth narrowing effect from the optical filters. Novel architectures and methods are disclosed that can significantly reduce bandwidth-narrowing on channels in a reconfigurable WDM network where a large number of optical filter elements are cascaded. Instead of blocking unused channels as in the prior art, unused channels are selectively provisioned depending on the state of their adjacent channels. Unused adjacent channels of an active channel are provisioned to follow the same path as the active channels. As each channels is deployed, the channel frequency is selected so as to minimize bandwidth narrowing.
