massively expanding number of connected devices and online services, require intelligent …

The estimation of the quality of transmission (QoT) in optical systems with machine learning
(ML) has recently been the focus of a large body of research. We discuss the sources of …

Space division multiplexing (SDM), as a potential means of enhancing the capacity of optical
transmission systems, has attracted widespread attention. However, the adoption of SDM …

Multi-band (MB) optical transmission promises to extend the lifetime of existing optical fibre
infrastructures, which usually transmit within the C-band only, with C+ L-band being also …

Increased global traffic puts tough requirements not just on fiber communications links but
on the entire network. This manifests itself in multiple ways, including how to optimize …

The rapid growth in communications and internet has changed our way of life, and our
requirement for communication bandwidth. Optical networks can enable us to meet the …

For optical networks, routing and resource allocation which considerably determines the
resource efficiency and network capacity is one of the most important works. It has been …
