We describe an all-optical network testbed deployed in the Boston area, and research surrounding the allocation of optical resources -- frequencies and time slots -- within the network. The network was developed by a consortium of AT&T Bell Laboratories, Digital Equipment Corporation, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology under a grant from ARPA. The network is organized as a hierarchy consisting of local, metropolitan, and wide area nodes tea support optical broadcast and routing modes. Frequencies are shared and reused to enhance network scalability. Electronic access is provided through optical terminals that support multiple services having data rates between 10 Mbps/user and 10 Gbps/user. Of particular interest for this work is the 'B-service,' which simultaneously hops frequency and time slots on each optical terminal to allow frequency sharing within the AON. B-service provides 1.244 Gbps per optical terminal, with bandwidth for individual connections divided in increments as small as 10 Mbps. We have created interfaces between the AON and commercially available electronic circuit-switched and packet-switched networks. The packet switches provide FDDI (datacomm), T3 (telecomm), and ATM/SONET switching at backplane rates of over 3 Gbps. We show results on network applications that dynamically allocate optical bandwidth between electronic packet-switches based on the offered load presented by users. Bandwidth allocation granularity is proportional to B-Service slots (10-1244 Mbps), and switching times are on the order of one second. We have also studied the effects of wavelength changers upon the network capacity and blocking probabilities in wide area all-optical networks. Wavelength changers allow a change in the carrier frequency (within the network) without disturbing the data modulation. The study includes both a theoretical model of blocking probabilities based on network design parameters, and a computer simulation of blocking in networks with and without wavelength changers. Theory and simulation are in good agreement, and the results allow classification of those optical networks where wavelength changers provide benefit.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a new, non-invasive diagnostic technique for high resolution optical 3D imaging, which was developed and applied to several different biological materials during the lasi; five years [1, 2, 3]. A unique application ofthis technique is the microscopical cross-sectional imaging ofpostenor structures ofthe eye which are not accessable with other high resolution techniques in-vivo neither with x-ray-imaging nor with high frequency ultrasound scanning. The superior spatial resolution on the order ofabout lOtm laterally and axially, the high signal-to-noise ratio ofmore than 100 db and the fast acquisition-time of one second for a two dimensional scan provides a technique for cross-sectional in-vivo-momtoring ofintraocular structures and therefore the possibility to study the time course of anatomical and pathological developments in the eye. The acute morphological changes of ocular structures and their biological healing response after shortterm impacts such as high-intensity laser exposures are ofparticular interest for the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for therapeutic laser-application in ophthal-mology as well as for laser injury to the eye. A correlation between cross-sectional OCT-images and structural findings using classical histopathological techniques facilitates a better interpretation ofthe characteristic patterns seen in OCTimages and defines the sensitivity ofthe OCT-technique to image morphological details. On the other hand preparational artefacts not avoidable in all histological procedures can be identified and analyzed by comparing histological micrographs with OCT-images of exactly the same structure. First results of an experimental study where retinal effects were produced in monkey eyes using laser pulses from 200 ms to 130 fs in duration are presented in this article. The applied energies from 5tJ to 50 mJ were able to induce the whole spectrum of biological effects possible in the eye, ranging from intraretinal microruptures to extensive thermal denaturation and massive preretinal hemorrhages [4, 5, 6].
