A novel structure has been designed for bit synchronization in a terabit-per-second optical interconnection network with adjustable op tical delay lines, The two-stage network consists of 1024 optical links connected to a central switching module. A distributed optical clock net-work is designed for bit synchronization at each node computer. Zero link setup time can be achieved by precisely matching the phases of each pair of clock and signal, The link-to-link switching time can be reduced to less than 20 ns in the two-stage network. Even in a three-stage network that can accommodate 32.768 optical links, the link switching time can be maintained below 30ns. At the same time, a total bidirectional band-width of 98304Tbit/s can be obtained. Since bit synchronization is achieved entirely in the optical domain, this structure is independent of link transmission rates.

Both hardware and software are optimized simultaneously to improve the bus throughput of node computer in cluster computing network. A cost effective optical interconnection ring network is established using off-the-shelf PCs with windows operating system. A network adapter card ONIC is developed. Using ETDM and field program technique, the 1511 bandwidth of the 32bit

In this paper, a novel method to measyre the distributed polarization mode coupling in poladzation-maintaining (PM) fibers is introduced. The measuement system is based on white light interference. A super luminescent diode is used as the broadband light source in the system, The whole test system is working on 130Ohm wavelength. There are two main palls of the measurement equipment: poladzation adjustment and a scanned Micbelson interferometer. In order to improve the accuracy, a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) is applied in the scanned Micbelson interferometer. The maximum length of tested polafizadon-maintnining fiber is one kilometer, and the spatial resolution of this method reacbed 60mm along the tested PM fiber, The degree of polarization mode coupling that could be detected is-75dB.

Piezo-electronic transducer is used in combination with mechanical scanning devices to improve measurement accuracy in a distributed polarization coupling detection system. For mechanical scanning range of 150mm with 200nm resolution, the measurement error of polarization-coupling intensity can be improved from 38% to 2% in combination with a 20-nm resolution piezo-electronic transducer.

In this paper, we present a low cost fiber-optic data link for the computing cluster. The link is a 32bd-virtual channel fiber-optic computer bus used only a pair of OE devices and fbers The link is integrated with the popular PCI Bus interface in order to make the link hold the same bandwidth as that of the PCI Bus. and it can operate under managed by PCI Bus. Our research addresses how to match accessing bandwidth between computer bus and high-speed optical interconnection, and how to make low overhead and latency interfaces between optics and electronics, and integrates fiber optic link into computing system designs.
