Elastic optical networks (EONs) have been receiving extensive attention because of their
inherent flexibility and the efficiency with which they allocate fiber-bandwidth. For an EON …

A breakthrough technology, on-chip frequency comb sources offer broadband combs while
being compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solutions for various applications from …

In the past few years, many researchers have studied elastic optical networks, which exhibit
a dramatically improved transmission capacity compared with conventional optical networks …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides an attractive means for securing communications
in optical fibre networks. However, deployment of the technology has been hampered by the …

We present a simple approach based on photonic reservoir computing (P-RC) for
modulation format identification (MFI) in optical fiber communications. Here an optically …

In this paper, we present a quality-of-transmission (QoT) aware dynamic routing, modulation
level, and spectrum assignment scheme referred to as QoT-aware RSA. The proposed QoT …

A low-complexity model for signal quality prediction in a nonlinear fiber-optic network is
developed. The model, which builds on the Gaussian noise model, takes into account the …

As optical networks continue to evolve to support increasing bandwidth demands, lightpaths
will take on different spectrum spaces as opposed to the current uniform 50-GHz grid …

Fiber nonlinear interference (NLI) modeling and monitoring are the key building blocks to
support elastic optical networks. In the past, they were normally developed and investigated …

A capital expenditure model is a key requirement to evaluate multilayer (ML) metro and core
network architectures. Based on the Internet protocol/multiprotocol label switching …
