Abstract All-optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) backbones are believed to be a
fundamental component in future high speed networks. Currently, the most pursued …

We address the design of rearrangeable multihop lightwave networks having regular
connectivity topology (such as Perfect Shuffle (PS), de Bruijn (dB) graph, GEneralized …

The first book of its kind, this text provides an introduction to photonic switching
technologies, photonic switch architectures, and photonic components used in all-optical …

We present algorithms for the design of optimal virtual topologies embedded on wide-area
wavelength-routed optical networks. The physical network architecture employs wavelength …

Silicon photonics is a promising technology to scale offchip bandwidth in a power-efficient
manner. Given equivalent bandwidth, the flexibility of switched networks often leads to the …

The dilation concept in switching networks is generalized and extended to the wavelength
dimension, resulting in a new class of dynamic wavelength-routing cross-connects. These …

In this chapter we provide a complete formulation of the problem and survey the literature on
the topic. We restrict ourselves to transport networks rather than local area networks, and …

This paper introduces an approach to solving the fundamental scalability problem of all-
optical packet switching wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) access networks. Current …
