Data centers have undergone significant expansions in recent years, as cloud service
providers seek to improve the quality of service and reduce operational costs. Cloud …

We compare performance of a polarization insensitive fiber optic parametric amplifier (PI-
FOPA), a commercial erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and a discrete Raman amplifier …

Temporarily storing delay-tolerant data at peak hours and forwarding the data at off-peak
hours, ie, performing Store-and-Forward (SnF) using datacenter storage, can mitigate peak …

With rapid growth of data centers and great rising concern on data security in recent years,
disaster backup has attracted the attention of many researchers. Most researchers focus on …

A major class of traffic demands entails the transfer of known volumes of data before a
deadline specified by the demands, while allowing slow resource allocation. For the service …

The thesis explores fibre optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) to implement and develop
the FOPA ability to provide transient free burst mode signal amplification, presenting …
