Optical line interface technology has been the key enabler to reduce the cost per bit
transported, thus cost-effectively scaling optical transport networks and mitigating or even …

In transport networks, each generation of optical line interfaces brings the prospect of even
higher capacity and further reductions in the cost per bit transported. Currently deployed line …

Network traffic demands are forecast to increase for the foreseeable future, with the
challenge being to meet the demand while maintaining or lowering network costs. Simply …

In this paper, we will review techniques to achieve 100Gb/s and higher optical channels;
review the impact upon system reach; review the benefits of using multiple carriers; and …

1. Network traffic growth remains strong Sold WDM transponder capacity scales at~ 45%
Scaling is widely supported by compute, storage, access scaling Optical transport is …

Next-generation elastic optical interfaces will support a wide range of line rates and
modulation formats. Such transmission schemes enable doubling of the channel capacity at …

The need for greater transmission capacity through optical fiber has been met so far by the
wide scale deployment of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Still, to manage and …

As 100-Gb/s digital coherent systems enter commercial deployment, an effort is underway to
uncover the technologies that will enable the next-generation optical fiber communication …

Based on fundamental software-defined networking principles, disaggregated solutions
have recently been proposed for optical transport networks. The first solution of such type …

Optical transport networks (OTNs) will quickly evolve from dense wavelength division
