Abstract-- In WDM all-optical networks where electrical regeneration is not available, physical impairments due to propagation in the fibers, amplifier noise, and leaks between cha...
In both, metropolitan optical networks (MON) and long haul optical networks (LHON) the signal quality is often influenced by the physical impairments, therefore a proper impairment...
—In this paper, we consider the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in all-optical networks, where signals propagate in the optical domain (with no electrical rege...
— Crosstalk originating from optical switching devices and demultiplexers can be the dominant physical impairment in large all-optical networks. When a centralized network contro...
