We consider the problem of determining a routing in all-optical networks, in which some couples of nodes want to communicate. In particular, we study this problem from the point of view of a network provider that has to design suitable payment functions for non-cooperative agents, corresponding to the couples of nodes wishing to communicate. The network provider aims at inducing stable routings (i.e., routings corresponding to Nash equilibria) using a low number of wavelengths. We consider three different kinds of local knowledge that agents may exploit to compute their payments, leading to three corresponding information levels. Under complete information, the network provider can design a payment function, inducing the agents to reach a Nash equilibrium mirroring any desired routing. If the price to an agent is computed only as a function of the wavelengths used along connecting paths (minimal level) or edges (intermediate level), the most reasonable functions either do not admit Nash equilibria or admit very inefficient ones, i.e., with the largest possible price of anarchy. However, by suitably restricting the network topology, a constant price of anarchy for chains and rings and a logarithmic one for trees can be obtained under the minimal and intermediate levels, respectively.

AbstractStrong quantum confinement and coulomb interactions induce tightly bound quasiparticles such as excitons and trions in an atomically thin layer of transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), which play a dominant role in determining their intriguing optoelectronic properties. Thus, controlling the excitonic properties is essential for the applications of TMD-based devices. Here, we demonstrate the all-optical tuning of the local excitonic emission from a monolayer MoS2 hybridized with phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) thin film. By applying pulsed laser with different power on the MoS2/GST heterostructure, the peak energies of the excitonic emission of MoS2 can be tuned up to 40 meV, and the exciton/trion intensity ratio can be tuned by at least one order of magnitude. Raman spectra and transient pump-probe measurements show that the tunability originated from the laser-induced phase change of the GST thin film with charge transferring from GST to the monolayer MoS2. The dynamic tuning of the excitonic emission was all done with localized laser pulses and could be scaled readily, which pave a new way of controlling the excitonic emission in TMDs. Our findings could be potentially used as all-optical modulators or switches in future optical networks.
