The waveguide includes Bragg mirrors, designed to operate in the third telecommunication window, which confine a mode, tuned at the band edge wavelength, inside the active region. The analysis of gain and its saturation effects occurring when high values of current are injected in the structure is performed; the variation of number of periods considered in the Bragg mirrors and the length of defect deeply affect the behaviour of the gain. The analysis has been developed using proprietary codes, based on MoL-BBPM, introducing rate equations which take into account the energy phenomena linked to the presence of the active region.","PeriodicalId":230802,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123756579","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 shortcoming results in (i) requiring at least N(N-1) wavelengths for complete connectivity of a network with N end nodes; (ii) inability to aggregate/separate traffic in the core nodes; and (iii) a mismatch in connecting subnetworks of different capacities. A recently proposed time-driven optical switch based on a universal time clock (UTC) demonstrates synchronized time frame switching of a given wavelength without processing the frame content. A question that arises then, is how to allocate the time frames of a given wavelength amongst the N destinations so as to meet the required offered load and to minimize the mean delay and buffer size at each source end node. We propose and analyze a fractional wavelength circuit switching scheme based on the uniformity properties of the golden ratio and demonstrate its performance for Poisson and Norros long-range-dependent traffic.","PeriodicalId":230802,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"746 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126936240","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 conduct this investigation, we use heuristic approaches which we have previously developed to plan large-scale GMPLS-based transport networks with conversion and regeneration capabilities. Our investigation proceeds into two directions. First is deciding the best optical reach without the consideration of the optical reach customization. The second direction is deciding the best reach with customizing the optical reach of all-optical paths.","PeriodicalId":230802,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122392258","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}

Such networks carry a large number of channels over short distances. Another key aspect is the ability to add or drop channels at each node. This scenario imposes the challenge of deploying cost-effective transceivers which are robust to strong linear filtering from several (reconfigurable) optical add-drop multiplexers (OADMs). Binary modulation formats are generally preferred in terms of cost, but are vulnerable to linear filtering due to their broad spectral content. Among all binary modulation formats with non-coherent detection, differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) exhibits the highest tolerance to noise. This paper investigates the potential use of DPSK combined with joint-decision maximum likelihood sequence estimation (JD-MLSE) in MANs. The performance of this alternative is evaluated in networks subject to strong optical filtering and residual dispersion. The results indicate that the relatively high noise-tolerance of DPSK is maintained in networks with strong optical filtering, when combined with JD-MLSE for the compensation of deterministic distortions. DPSK and JD-MLSE will be therefore an attractive alternative as the electronic evolves towards faster and more efficient MLSE implementations.","PeriodicalId":230802,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117075507","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 development will continue in the next couple of decades and allegorizes a challenge for the future next generation networks. Taking this into account the end-user will need higher data rates, getting theoretical access to the full available bandwidth of the backbone delivered to the home. Free space optics (FSO) is an excellent supplement to conventional radio links and fiber optics, capable of handling point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. On the one hand-side FSO is a broadband wireless solution for the \"last mile\" connectivity in metropolitan networks, on the other hand-side FSO can be used to interlink locations within one local area network. In the last years different types of cost-effective systems were developed and realized at the Institute of Broadband Communication of Graz University of Technology (TU Graz). The first type was based on a modular concept using available standard components allowing demonstrations at a data rate of 2 times 10 Mbit/s for short distances up to 300 m at a specific power margin of 25 dB/km. Later the units were improved to allow a data rate of 100 Mbit/s, higher data rates are currently under development. The reliability and availability of a FSO-link is mainly determined by the local atmospheric conditions, in free space the transmitted light is reflected, refracted or absorbed by objects, rain, fog, wind or sun. All these parameters directly influence the quality of a FSO-link and indirectly affect the quality of an access network. Many FSO-installations (permanent and nomadic use) have been set-up in the area of Styria by TU Graz and cooperation partners. In this contribution we will show some practical installations for different events, including the latest permanent installation, which was started in the summer of 2007 together with the municipality of Dobl, a small suburb of Graz, and the ML11 GmbH, an IT-company. Within this cooperation the elementary school of Dobl was connected to the Internet via FSO. The FSO-units were successfully installed and the setup is now used to explore the influence of weather on the FSO-link in the area of Graz.","PeriodicalId":230802,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129270717","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}
