We present simple reach estimators for 5 to 15 Gb/s NRZ channels in commonly deployed networks and assess the benefits of tunable data-rate in core optical networks through routing and resource all
The ever increasing bandwidth-hungry applications trigger an unexpected transformation in telecommunication networks.
The author discusses the history of telecommunication networks and the development of fiber networks.
Optical networking technologies have evolved significantly over the last few years: 100G coherent has been commercialized; flexibility in data rate, frequency grid and modulation format is a hotly
Summary form only given. DWDM technology has emerged as the leading solution for high-speed transmission to dramatically change the underlying characteristics of backbone networks.
Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) has been the workhorse of data networks, accommodating exponential traffic growth for two decades.
Summary form only given. Progress in optical networks is driven by the shift from voice messaging to data communications and an exponential growth in capacity demands.
Driven by increased high-bandwidth traffic, including video, the reduction in the last mile bottleneck resulting from ubiquitous DSL and growing fiber-to-the-home connections and an increasing glob
Optical performance monitoring is demonstrated using the nonlinear response of a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA).
