We present the design and analysis of an Agile All-Photonic Network (AAPN); in the context
of our study, the agility is derived from sub-microsecond photonic switching and global …

There are many advantages of deploying an all-optical network. Unfortunately, there are still
few guidelines on how to properly design the physical topology for such a network. We …

(cont.) We starts with a examination of various measures of regular topologies. The average
minimum hop distance plays a crucial role in evaluating the efficiency of network …

The transport network paradigm is changing as evidenced by IP convergence and the
divergence of architectures and technologies. Harnessing the full power of light will spur the …

We present some novel architectures for rearrangeably nonblocking multistage photonic
space switches implemented using arrays of Ti: LiNbO_ {3} directional couplers. Multistage …

This paper attempts to find a new analytical framework to identify cost-effective topological
architectures of optical cross-connect (OXC)-switched wavelength-division multiplexing …

One of the important considerations in designing waveguide-based photonic switching
networks is to avoid crosstalk. Two approaches have been proposed which dilate a network …

We consider a wavelength-routed optical network operated as a lightpath-based virtual
topology. We present an exact linear programming formulation for the complete virtual …

In recent years hybrid optical network architectures, which employ two or more network
technologies simultaneously, were proposed. They aim at improving the overall network …

The two-fold purpose of our research is to develop mathematical programming tools for the
optimal or near-optimal design of a new type of network architecture called the Wavelength …
