In WDM optical networks, the physical layer impairments (PLIs) and their significance
depend on network type-opaque, translucent, or transparent; the reach-access, metro, or …

Optical networks are moving from opaque and translucent architectures towards all-optical
(transparent) architectures. In translucent architectures a small amount of regeneration (eg …

Since light-paths are the basic connections in wavelength routed networks, their effective
establishment is very important. Routing and Wavelength Assignment (RWA) techniques …

The performance of a data-driven quality-of-transmission (QoT) model is investigated on a
dynamic metro optical network capable of supporting both unicast and multicast …

In this paper, we study the performance of dynamic routing and wavelength assignment
(RWA) in filterless optical networks. These types of broadcast and select networks benefit …

In the last 15 years, numerous investigations by both academia and industry have been
carried out in the field of all-optical WDM networks' design. In all-optical-or transparent-WDM …

In this article, we present the concept of the filterless optical network from a control plane
perspective, defining the network and showing to what extent a control plane could be …

Transmission impairments in wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) transparent optical
networks accumulate along an optical path and determine the feasibility of lightpaths; hence …

This paper provides an overview of the recent developments in research and the IETF
standardization body on using a path computation element in complex telecom networking …

In optical networks the effect of physical layer impairments can play an important role in the
routing and wavelength assignment decisions that are taken in the control layer …
