The invention provides an optical burst switch in an Optical Burst Switched (OBS) communication network, said optical burst switch comprising means for monitoring and maintaining mesh of virtual optical paths from a communication node to a plurality of other communication nodes, arranged in a ring network, enabling traffic data to be transmitted and/or received between nodes via a physical optical path. The switch also provides means for sending a data packet probe on a virtual path from a node to each other node in the OBS communication network, wherein data packet probe information received at said switch provides information of availability of the physical optical path for sending traffic data between nodes. The switch can be configured such that the rate at which this path monitoring is scheduled guaranteeing less than 50ms protection switch in the event of monitoring a failed or degraded path.

A method and system for detecting change to a record in a file stored on an electronic token involves storing a change detection code (CDC) so that a change detection applet can calculate a current CDC for corresponding record(s), and compare the current CDC with the stored CDC to determine if data has changed. Any changes to records are registered by a registering element that provides a service feature, back-up of the file and/or synchronizes the file with other files stored remotely. One use of the method is to back-up phonebook records on USIM/SIM cards.

The invention relates to a method and system for providing a set of continuous tuning regions from a discontinuously tuned laser, by providing a wavelength reference having at least first and second resonance peaks, sweeping the laser across a pre-determined wavelength range of the wavelength reference, and defining, within the laser sweep, one or more regions of continuous tuning operation of the laser, each of the regions corresponding to a response of the laser between adjacent resonance peaks of the wavelength reference. The advantage of the invention is that it provides a way for stitching together continuous regions of a multi-section tunable laser in an efficient and accurate manner.

A displacement measuring interferometer system and method for measuring the distance between two known points is disclosed. An interferometer is configured to provide a reference reflection of a reference point and a measurement reflection of a measurement point. A tunable laser is used to scan in wavelength into the interferometer to detect interferometer characteristics to measure the distance between the reference point and the measurement point from the interferometer characteristics. The invention describes a displacement measuring interferometer which uses a scanning tunable laser to accurately map out a fringe such that significant improvement in accuracy can be achieved by use of a tunable laser to scan the wavelengths and determine the fringe.
摘要:
A laser diode (1) having an optical path (15) defined in an active layer (2) which is sandwiched between a substrate layer (3) and a top layer (4) and defined by a ridge (14) formed in the top layer (4) outputs laser light of a single predetermined wavelength. Refractive index altering grooves (21) extending transversely in the top layer (4) are provided at spaced apart locations for altering the refractive index of the active layer (2) along the optical path at partial reflecting locations (20) for causing partial longitudinal reflections of the laser light generated in the optical path (15) so that standing waves or harmonics thereof of the single predetermined wavelength are set up between the respective partial reflecting locations (20) and a first mirror facet (8) in the optical path (15). In order that the standing waves set up between the partial reflecting locations (20) and the first mirror facet (8) are harmonics of the predetermined single wavelength, the refractive index altering grooves (21) are located along the ridge (14) for forming the reflecting locations (20) at distances from the first mirror facet (8) which correspond to the effective length of the optical path (15) resulting from the affect of the inclusion of the reflecting locations (20) rather than at locations corresponding to the actual length of the light path (15).

A coating for preparing a floor underlayment to receive an adhesive, where the coating includes a water-soluble, latex polymer, a defoamer and a dual-function surface enhancing agent. The surface enhancing agent includes a set accelerator that also functions to cross link the adhesive, hardening the surface of the underlayment using at least two mechanisms. One embodiment of the invention is a dry mixture that forms a coating when added to water. The dry mixture includes from about 10% to about 50% of the redispersible polymer on a dry weight basis, from about 50% to about 90% of the surface enhancing agent and from about 0.15% to about 0.25% of the defoamer on a dry weight basis. Other embodiments describe a liquid coating formed by adding from about 1 to about 8 parts water to 1 part of the dry mixture on a volume basis.
