Introduction

CIAN's main operations are located at The University of Arizona's College of Optical Sciences, which provides resources for both theoretical and applied research programs in all areas related to optics and the optical sciences. The center headquarters is on the 5th floor of a new 47,000 square-foot West Wing addition, completed in 2006.

The CIAN Grand Challenge Testbed, located on the campus of UCSD,(CNS) is a shared research facility where CIAN's research from the various Thrusts is integrated, enabling collaborative research among CIAN participants and with the wider research and industrial community.

The Testbed for Optical Aggregation Networking (TOAN) at the University of Arizona includes traffic generators (including NetFPGA blade servers and IXIA traffic generator), 0.5Tbit/s switching nodes (including two Fujitsu Flashwave 9500's), a WDM-PON system (from FNE), optical analysis equipments, CDC ROADM networks, 100G coherent setup and a unified SDN control plane.

Lab Resources

F-1. Alnair Automatic Bandwidth-Variable Tunable Filter (CVF-220C)

The CVF-220 programmable filter has both bandwidth and wavelength tunability, with a wide bandwidth tunability of 0.1 - 15nm (at -3dB). The typical insertion loss at the narrowest bandwidth is only 5.0dB, even with the built-in power meter and peak-search functionality. Furthermore, the CVF-220 has a wavelength accuracy of <0.05nm which cover the entire C-band.The CVF-220 is unique in that it possess all of the above features in the one, standard configuration.

Key Specs:

Maximum Input Power: 1W

Connector: FC/APC

Bandwidth tunability: 0.1-15nm

Wavelength accuracy: ~0.01nm
