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...
Abstract Recent advances in optical switching technology allows for the creation of networks in which data bursts are switched optically at each node, offering a greater degree of...
Resiliency to link failures in optical networks is becoming increasingly important due to the increasing data rate in the fiber. Path protection schemes attempt to guarantee a bac...
This paper represents the technical core of a pre-competitive consortium formed by AT&T, DEC and MIT to study the technology, architecture and applications of wide-band all-opt...
W e study a class of all-optical networks using wavelength division multiplexing and wavelength routing in which a connection between a pair of nodes in the network is assigned a ...
