Abstract: A network element of a software-defined network comprises a data transfer interface (210) for receiving and transmitting data and a processing system (215) for constructing a software-defined data path and a fixed-functionality data path such as for example an IP/MPLS or L2 switching path. The software-defined data path comprises look-up tables for selecting software-defined actions and the fixed-functionality data path defines fixed-functionality actions. The processing system is adapted to convert metadata associated with data managed by the software-defined data path to a data format suitable for the fixed-functionality data path when one or more of the fixed-functionality actions are needed in conjunction with forwarding the data. One of the fixed-functionality actions is selected at least partly on the basis of which one of the look-up tables was most recently accessed, and the determined fixed-functionality action is carried out so as to initiate the one or more needed fixed-functionality actions.

Abstract: A phase modulation device is provided that comprises a retardation device and a control device. The retardation device is characterized by first and second polarization eigenstates SOPf and SOPs. Light polarized according to the second polarization eigenstate SOPs acquires, upon passing through said retardation device, a delay with regard to light polarized according to the first polarization eigenstate SOPf, which delay corresponds to λ/2±30%, preferably λ/2±20% and most preferably λ/2±10%. The retardation device is arranged to receive input light having a polarization state SOPf; that defines an angle with respect to one of the first and second polarization eigenstates SOPf, SOPs within a predetermined angle range and to emit output light. The control device is configured to control at least one of a change of the angle between the polarization state SOPi; of
the input light and the respective polarization eigenstate SOPf, SOPs by less than 0.1*π, preferably less than 0.05*π and most preferably less than 0.02*π; and a change of the amount of said delay upon passing through said retardation device by less than 0.3*λ, preferably less than 0.2*λ and most preferably less than 0.1*λ, such that a phase shift of π±30%, preferably π±20% and most preferably π±10% on the output light is obtained.

Abstract: A method for determining the position of an irregularity in an optical transmission fiber using an optical time domain reflectometer, the method comprising the steps of emitting a succession of sampling light pulses into the optical transmission fiber, detecting reflected light pulses resulting from the reflection of the sampling light pulses at the irregularity in the optical transmission fiber and generating corresponding time-dependent detection signals, wherein different delays are associated with detection signals corresponding to different sampling light pulses, obtaining a combined signal from the detection signals, and analyzing the combined signal for determining the position of the irregularity in the optical transmission fiber with respect to the optical time domain reflectometer, wherein the combined signal corresponds to a super-position of the detection signals.
