The use cases of the upcoming 5G mobile networks introduce new and complex user demands that will require support for fast reconfiguration of network resources.
Measuring and comparing performance of an Internet multimedia signaling protocol across varying vendor implementations is a challenging task.
E. A. J. Marcatili has shown that a bent slab waveguide loses power by radiation. 1 His analysis is based on a solution of the eigenvalue equation of the bent waveguide.
We present a planar lightwave circuit curved 2 × 2 coupler. Its splitting ratio has a low sensitivity to wavelength, polarization, and fabrication yet is low loss and compact.
A dielectric rod, embedded in one or more dielectrics of lower refractive index, is the basic ingredient of three types of optical waveguide which differ only in their relative dimensions and conse
OLT transmitter and receiver concepts using SOA for NG-PON2 are experimentally compared.
This study illustrates the benefit of "opportune" regeneration while WDM networks are becoming more elastic in terms of spectral efficiency versus transmission reach of optical carriers.
By combination of single-stage optical PMD-compensator and an adaptively equalizing 43 Gb/s DPSK receiver a PMD-tolerance of 7 ps was achieved at 10-5 outage probability.
This work quantifies the ratio of transponders saved throughout the 10-year life of 2 WDM networks by considering gradual ageing of systems margins versus their end-of-life values, and actual routi
We present a new strategy of regenerator placement along with traffic growth in the elastic WDM networks, by introducing additional regenerators on the already allocated connections only from when
