This paper reports all-optical, function programmable, transparent, intra- and inter-data center networking (DCN) using space and time-division multiplexing (SDM/TDM) within data centers and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) between data …
Optical Ethernet gains great success in varied optical domains. Ethernet while providing the elastic allocation of bandwidth per flow is currently restricted to being transported over fixed-rate fixed-grid optical channels. However, as data …
Burst-mode receiver (BMR) is one of the key components in passive optical networks (PONs). When directly-modulated distribution feedback (DFB) lasers are used as transmitter source, the BMR needs to take additional measures to compensate the effects …
A multi-domain and multi-technology optical network orchestration is demonstrated in an international testbed located in Japan, the UK and Spain. The Application-Based Network Operations (ABNO) architecture is proposed as a carrier Software-Defined …
