In this paper, an optical video/audio analog transceiver using direct intensity modulation (DIM) technique is presented. The information signal is transmitted directly in the base band. With DIM, no electric modulation or demodulation is required with this technique, making it both inexpensive and easy to implement. Using the handheld optical power meter and tone generator, we show the tradeoff be...Show More
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of multicasting in a single-hop local lightwave network based on a broadcast-and-select system. We use an approximate analytical solution and Markov model to show the effect of tuning time on the average packet delay and offered load. We also show the trade-off between the average packet delay and the number of wavelengths for the network.Show More
We study multicast traffic performance in single-hop optical networks based on broadcast and select system that employ a receiver collision avoidance protocol (RCA) as a multicasting protocol. We use an approximate analytical solution and Markov model to analyse the system. We consider fixed and uniform distribution of the destination set size to show the relationship between the receiver throughp...Show More
