Optical fibers are made of glass with different refractive indices in the (inner) core and the (outer) cladding regions. The difference in refractive index arises due to a rapid tr...

Optical or lambda exchanges have emerged to interconnect networks, providing dynamic switching capabilities on OSI layer 1 and layer 2. So far, the only inter-domain dynamics have ...

A new scalable optical network infrastructure SMART is proposed based on light-trails and hypernetwork architecture. The underlying physical network of SMART is a reconfigurable WD...
We consider the problem of minimizing the number of ADMs in optical networks. All previous theoretical studies of this problem dealt with the off-line case, where all the lightpat...

— We present a detailed analysis of the loss performance in an optical buffer having access to a single outgoing channel. Such a system - consisting of a number of fiber delay li...
