In response to this challenge, Radio over Free Space Optics (Ro-FSO) has emerged as a viable and innovative solution, seamlessly amalgamating wireless and optical systems. This integration proves particularly invaluable in sensitive environments, such as hospitals, where the risk of electromagnetic interference disrupting critical medical equipment is a real concern. Ro-FSO offers a disruption-free avenue for high-speed data transmission, positioning it as the ideal choice for broadband services, including Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Within the scope of this study, we introduce a high-speed Ro-FSO link, showcasing the capability to concurrently transmit three independent channels with Red, Green and Blue (RGB) laser respectively, each supporting a robust 1 Gbps data rate. These data streams are skilfully up-converted to the 5 GHz RF bands, encompassing transmission distances of 650 m across the FSO channel.

In this research, greedy-based priority routing and wavelength assignment traffic grooming (GPRWATG) technique is proposed aimed at reducing call blockage. In this scheme, to avoid optical–electrical–optical correspondence, firstly the grooming of connection requests with same source destination (s–d) is performed. According to the priority of these groomed connection requests, wavelength assignment and routing is assigned. This approach not only addresses the call blocking issue but also aligns with industry demands for improved network infrastructure. The proposed work performance is analyzed for blocking probability (BP), congestion, and its performance is compared with the non-priority-based routing and wavelength assignment traffic grooming (NPRWATG) and priority-based routing and wavelength assignment traffic grooming (PRWATG) schemes. The proposed method has 23.6 % lower congestion as compared to PRWATG and 21 % lower congestion as compared to NPRWATG. Also, the BP of GPRWATG is 26 % less than PRWATG and 21 % less than NPRWATG. Thus, it can be analyzed that by using the proposed technique, the BP as well as the congestion of the network altogether is reduced in comparison to the existing state-of-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":16675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138588375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This gate design is intended for applications in optical computing and all-optical logic, offering the potential for rapid computation and parallel processing. The described gate is characterized by its compact dimensions and comprises two inputs and a single output. The high and low logic states are defined based on power values, where logic 0 corresponds to low power and logic 1 corresponds to high power emitted from the light source. To enhance the design process, artificial neural networks (ANNs) are utilized. ANNs offer a powerful tool for optimizing and fine-tuning the photonic crystal structure parameters to achieve the desired logic functionality. With the help of the applied ANNs, the design process is eased and high performance is achieved for the proposed photonic crystal structure. By integrating ANNs into the design process, this research opens up new possibilities for advancing the field of photonic logic circuits. Combining photonic crystals and ANN optimization provides a powerful approach to designing complex and efficient optical computing systems.

Additionally, for analysis of the pointing error of both the wavelengths of the FSO link, different beam divergence angle of the transmitter (laser) has been considered. The BER performance is improved with optimum beam divergence angles. The optimization of the divergence angle is independent of wavelengths and visibility conditions. However, the BER has increased more below the optimized divergence angle compared to a larger angle. The MWIR link performs well in poor visibility conditions like fog, whereas the SWIR link fails for the same link distance in both conditions with and without pointing errors.","PeriodicalId":16675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138597262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional QoT prediction is based on analytical models that consider physical layer characteristics including dispersion, optical power and signal-to-noise ratio. But these models frequently oversimplify complex real-world situations, which reduces their accuracy for modern high-speed WDM networks. A data-driven solution is provided by machine learning(ML), which may boost the accuracy of QoT predictions by utilising real-time measurements, historical data and a variety of network situations. The creation of a ML-based framework for QoT prediction is investigated in the current research. This research proposes an effective ML-based routing computation model that uses a non-linear autoregressive recurrent neural network (ML-RCNA-RNN) to ensure QoT for every wavelength channel in high-capacity and high-speed WDM networks. Through simulations, more accurate QoT metrics, such as bit error rate (BER) 68.42 %, QoT prediction accuracy (Q-Factor) 5.9 %, network adaption time (ms) 48.3 %, latency (ms) 0.28 % and throughput (Gbps) 14.29 %, have been obtained compared to conventional QoT predictions. These results were obtained using Gaussian noise Python simulation (GNPy). As a result, the proposed framework that makes use of GNPy demonstrates that it substantially enhances optical communication networks’ performance and dependability. This facilitates the development of high-capacity, low-latency and reliable communication infrastructure, and makes it more adaptable and able to manage the complexity of high-speed WDM optical networks while preserving signal quality in the modern digital era.","PeriodicalId":16675,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optical Communications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139227635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
