C+ L open line systems represent a cost-effective way to scale backbone network capacity.
In this article, we review challenges and opportunities for C+ L line systems stemming from …

This paper describes experimental and simulation results of the optical packet experimental
routing architecture (OPERA) project. The OPERA network is based on a novel optical …

We introduce FFSS, an optical fiber simulator entirely developed in MATLAB® which takes
advantage of parallel calculation on graphic processing units (GPU). This software solves …

We consider dynamically reconfigurable wave-length routed networks in which lightpaths
carrying IP traffic are on demand established. We face the Routing and Wavelength …

We investigate in this letter the use of electronic equalization on dispersion-limited systems
for different modulation formats. Besides analyzing equalization on standard nonreturn-to …

Optical phase-modulated systems are promising candidates for the development of ultrahigh-
bit-rate transmission links, thanks to their high spectral efficiency and increased tolerance to …

We present in this paper a novel accurate method to analyze the performance of an optical
link where the amplified spontaneous emission noise, enhanced by a fiber nonlinear …

High speed and ultra-high capacity optical communications have emerged as the essential
techniques for backbone global information transmission networks. As the bit rate of the …

A fourth-order Runge-Kutta in the interaction picture (RK4IP) method is presented for solving
the coupled nonlinear Schr¨ odinger equation (CNLSE) that governs the light propagation in …

Open optical networks present a variety of benefits to service providers and enterprise
network operators, such as freedom from single-vendor dependence and the potential to …
