SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 1 AUGUST 2006
Recent dramatic advances in nanoscale materials and nanophotonic device fabri-cation have yielded unprecedented control over the optical properties of syn-
thetic structures. These extraordinary innovations at the nanoscale offer the possi-bility of creating high-functionality photonic devices in ultradense integration plat-forms. We can now envision nanoscale integrated photonics modules that maybeapplication-specific designed in a similar fashion to integrated electronics forappli-cations ranging from ultra-long-haul telecommunications to on-chip networks andhigh-performance computing. The applications of these advances to the transfor-mation of optical networking is the theme of thisJournal of Optical Networking(JON) feature issue.
Scope of Submission
The Editors of JON are soliciting papers on Nanoscale Integrated Photonics forOptical Networks. The aim in this feature issue is to publish original research ontopics including—but not limited to—the following nanoscale materials and devicefabrication as related to
• Novel optical network architectures• Photonic switching fabrics and network elements• Advances enabling new network functionalities such as novel solutions for
optical buffering, packet or label processing, and routing modules• Miniature mux/demux technology• Application-specific design• Integration and high-volume manufacture of photonics devices/modules• Network interface and control planes
