Abstract. Optical Burst Switching proposes a future-proof alternative to the current electronic switching in the backbone. The involved optical buffers are implemented with a set o...
One of the major concerns in optical networks is the bandwidth underutilization problem. In fact, as WDM technology keeps maturing, there is a bandwidth gap between the transmissi...
We report an innovative solely optical architecture to implement the centralized wavelength conversion module of the CWC (Controlled Wavelength Conversion) protocol [1]. The propo...
