    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for discovering inconsistent latencies in data center environments. In an implementation, a method for detecting inconsistent latency in a network comprises generating test traffic comprising encapsulated packets to transmit along a route from a source device to a destination device and supplying the test traffic to a bundle of interfaces of the source device to transmit to the destination device over multiple physical paths. The method continues with identifying latencies of the encapsulated packets along the route, and identifying an occurrence of inconsistent latency with respect to the bundle of interfaces based at least on the latencies of the encapsulated packets.

    Abstract: A high-power multiplexer/demultiplexer (“mux/demux”) and a three-dimensional (“3D”) printed phase mask are provided for hollow-core optical fiber applications. The high-power mux/demux includes hollow core optical fiber interfaces configured to couple with free-space optical fiber cables, a diffraction grating, a 3D printed phase mask, and a set of lenses. The diffraction grating is configured, based on different wavelengths, either to at least diffract each optical signal of a plurality of optical signals having different wavelengths into two or more optical signals or to at least diffract a single optical signal having multiple wavelengths into a plurality of optical signals. The phase mask includes reflective features configured to reflect optical signals at different optical path lengths to provide reflected optical signals with different phases. The set of lenses is configured to collimate optical signals onto or from the diffraction grating or to focus optical signals onto or from the phase mask.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing an ultra-scalable high-performance computing (“HPC”) network using dense wavelength-division multiplexing (“DWDM”). The HPC system includes an interconnection of GPU devices, multiplexer/demultiplexer (“mux/demux”) devices, amplifiers, wavelength selective switches (“WSSs”), and optical circuit switches (“OCSs”). Each OCS includes a plurality of micro-electromechanical systems (“MEMS”) mirrors and a plurality of input/output (“I/O”) ports each communicatively coupled to one WSS mux/demux device one WSS. Each WSS mux/demux device is either communicatively coupled to one of the I/O ports of an OCS or one of a plurality of GPU mux/demux devices via an amplifier. Each GPU mux/demux device is communicatively coupled to a number of GPU devices, each including another number GPUs and one or more optoelectronic devices. Selectively controlling the MEMS mirrors of the OCSs and the WSS mux/demux devices of the WSSs allows connecting the GPUs in a network topology for computing a series of computations.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring coherent optical service channel includes a transmitter configured to generate a multiple polarization signal based on an input signal, a hollow core fiber (HCF) configured to transmit the multiple polarization signal, a receiver configured to receive the multiple polarization signal, and a digital signal processor (DSP) configured to monitor one or more operating parameters of the received multiple polarization signal. The multiple polarization signal may use both the phase and the frequency polarization to multiplex the optical signal.

    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe an interlock mechanism for optical fibers. A protective enclosure for selectively covering a manual release mechanism of an optical fiber connector is described. In some examples, an optical system includes the protective enclosure, a mechanical actuator, and an optical device, among other components. A user interacts with the mechanical actuator to move the protective enclosure to a covered position or an uncovered position, disallowing or allowing, respectively, physical access to the manual release mechanism. The user's interaction with the mechanical actuator also concurrently turns the optical device on, off, or to a different power level, which provides, stops, or reduces the power of, respectively, optical signals provided to the optical fibers via the optical connector.

    Abstract: A method, implemented at a computer system in a network, for localizing network failure in the network includes enumerating at least one path between the computer system and a path destination node in the network through one or more intermediary nodes. The method further includes enumerating a plurality of sub-paths between the computer system and the path destination node. Each sub-path has either the path destination node, or one or more intermediary nodes of the corresponding path as a corresponding sub-path destination node. For each of the plurality of sub-paths, determining a probability that a data packet can successfully traverse the round trip of the corresponding sub-path and identifying a node in the network where network failure have occurred.
