The introduction of xPONs creates new needs in the upper network segments.
This paper will describe the French National project ECOFRAME focused on a Packet OADM-based networks for the metro area.
Sub-wavelength add/drop multiplexers are pragmatic and efficient systems that could drive the next generation of networks.
: We demonstrate the feasibility of a bit rate transparent ring packet network based on a Packet-OADM technology. A lab network has been successfully evaluated at 10, 40 and 100G.
We analyze the performance of an optical packet switch with partially shared buffers and we show that dimensioning of the switch predominantly depends on the number of packets that need to be buffe
The capacity growth of optical networks and a transition towards packet-based traffic has motivated research on optical packet switches.
The performance of packet-switching wavelength routed optical networks critically depends on packet contentions at the intermediate routers.
ANSI T1.106-1988 and ANSI EIA/TIA-559 describe the optical parameters and methodology for engineering unrepeatered spans up to 40 km in length for SONET systems.
We demonstrate what is to our knowledge the first realization of an optical parametric amplifier in orientation-patterned GaAs amplifying the emission of a quantum-cascade laser (QCL) with a distri
A loss budget model to predict optical performance of Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) type networks in the premises distribution environment has been developed.
