AbstractSilica integrated optical circuits are expanding in functionality to include optically active waveguides. Traditionally, the planar optical waveguide structures include silica based glass films such as thermal oxides, phosphorous, and boron-phosphorous doped glasses. Various efforts have successfully doped conventional waveguides with Er, typically by solution doping. Material issues such as rare earth solubility and glass structure dictate that efficient optical amplifiers based on such waveguides have path lengths in excess of 10–15 cm. We have developed an alternative strategy using Er-doped soda-lime silicate glass films on silicon. The waveguide processing utilizes methods of deposition similar to those used in silicon IC technology, with modificatons in the compositions and thicknesses. In these glasses the effective solubility limits are relaxed and we have successfully fabricated short path length devices which demonstrate net gain of more than 4 dB/cm. Short path length devices offer a potential advantage in highly integrated multi-channel devices and offer an additional building block in system architectures.

The Core

This chapter discusses the evolution of the network structure of Kenya’s overnight market. It applies several measurements derived from network theory to uncover some key microstructure characteristics and the nature of the interbank market segmentation. An important issue is to understand what opportunities and challenges the structure of the interbank network presents for liquidity management and stability of the banking system. The results reveal a fragmented market, consisting of local clusters with hub-like and periphery banks. These features seem to become more prominent with time. Although the interbank structure is largely incomplete (density of about 0.25), each bank can be linked to all other banks in the network in no more than three steps. While this may imply that the core potentially provides an efficient shortcut for most peripheral banks for accessing liquidity in the network, the short-path length suggests that contagion can also spread with ease.
