In this talk we discuss the power of mathematical optimization techniques to obtain such designs. One aspect that deserves particular attention in transparent optical networks is the availability of connections. Several survivability concepts have been developed over the years. We compare the concepts 1+1 dedicated path protection, shared path protection and the recently introduced concept demand-wise shared protection (DSP) on the network cost and connection availabilities. The results show that DSP obtains nearly the same network availability against significantly less cost","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130581992","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}

SRLs do not require chip cleaving or refractive index grating for the definition of the laser cavity, and hence they allow to integrate several laser devices on the same semiconductor chip. Since the early 90's, SRLs have been demonstrated as practical laser sources, showing interesting properties such as the directional bistability that occurs when only one of the two possible counter-propagating modes is active, while the other is highly suppressed. In this regime, the injection of an optical pulse can switch the direction of operation, hence realizing a new type of optically addressable digital memory unit (all-optical flip-flop). In this paper we review the technological development and experimental results achieved to date for SRLs, present a physical model for the description of device operation, and discuss device design rules for optimization of the performance and reduction of switching time","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127180246","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}

To maintain the scalability of the OXC at a reasonable level, various multi-granular OXC (MG-OXC) architectures have been proposed. Motivated by the fact that the MG-OXC constitutes only the optical segment of the generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS)-based transport node architecture, we first propose a novel node architecture that handles the whole traffic hierarchy defined in GMPLS. Second, incorporating the proposed architecture with our novel contributions, namely (1) bifurcation of multi-granularity traffic demands; (2) traffic flow grouping strategies at all granularity levels, requires defining a new transport planning problem, which we call the routing and multi-granular paths assignment (RMGPA) problem.

Using orthogonal states of polarization, a packet switched quality of service class shares the wavelength of a circuit switched class. PDL-induced power penalty, in terms of dynamic power fluctuations and crosstalk, is quantified for a single wavelength channel in a metro area network. Unlike traditional polarization multiplexing, the method is not subject to coherent crosstalk. This increases tolerance towards orthogonality degradation, and the power penalty due to PDL is comparable to that of a conventional non-polarization multiplexed system","PeriodicalId":208725,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123826671","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 notion of adaptability adds a new dimension to the long-standing practice to adapt the applications to networks.

In this type of network the user may have the ability to control routing in an end-to-end manner and set up and teardown of light-paths between routing domains. To facilitate this level of user control, users or applications will be offered management/control of the network resources (i.e. bandwidth allocation at the wavelength and sub-wavelength level).
