An opto-electronic three-stage packet switch architecture is described that plays to the
strengths of electronics as a memory technology and to photonics as a communications …

In optical burst switched (OBS) networks contention is the main source of burst loss. Burst
cloning scheme is a proactive loss recovery mechanism that attempts to prevent burst loss at …

This paper introduces a feedback control sys-tem based on Smith's principle for bandwidth
reservation and scheduling of all-photonic networks with large propagation delay. The …

Optical regeneration has the potential to signi cantly increase the reach of long-haul
transmission systems. In this thesis, wavelength-preserving polarization-insensitive …

With the even faster popularity of multimedia applications in recent years, newly emerging
applications require short-lived high bandwidth connections. The agile all-optical solution is …

The term" agility" in optical networks describes the ability to deploy bandwidth on demand at
fine granularity that allows carriers to deploy services rapidly. An overlaid-star all-photonic …

In all-photonic networks, both transmission and switching is performed in the optical domain,
without optoelectronic conversion for the data traversing the network. An accurate traffic …

With the advent of services and applications such as media streaming over the Internet,
speed and reliability have become critical issues for users. Content delivery networks …

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) is considered to enable bandwidth in the context of an Agile
All-Photonic Network (AAPN). However, before deploying the OBS technique in the AAPN …

In an all-optical network, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) has been introduced as a
means to support the rapidly increasing bandwidth demand of the network users …
