In the last twenty years, optical networks have witnessed recurrent changes in their
management and control architecture. In this paper, we present a historical timeline and a …

Switching the traffic in the optical domain has been considerably investigated as a future-
proof solution to overcome the intrinsic bandwidth bottleneck of electrical switches in data …

Optical packet switching (OPS) is a rapidly growing research field for next-generation data
transmission. The core router/switch performs an essential role in packet routing and …

Data centers are very critical elements which store and distribute data over the Internet.
current data centers heavily rely on electronics, and thus require vast amount of power and …

Benes/Clos networks constitute a particularly important part of interconnection networks and
have been used in numerous areas, such as multi-processor systems, data centers and on …

In this article, we effectively handle the continuously growing traffic within data centers (DCs)
and we focus on the intra‐rack communication. We propose a passive optical intra‐rack DC …

A monolithic 8× 8 transmitter-router chip fabricated on InGaAlAs-InP multi-quantum well
wafer for distributed wavelength routing network in the O-band with a channel spacing of …

To improve the blocking probability (BP) performance and enhance the resource utilization,
a correct decision of routing strategy which is most adaptable to the network configuration …

This Tutorial covers technologies, architectures, and system-integration for future data
centers with optical reconfigurability. Optical interconnects allow disaggregation of …

The growth of data centers (DC) and high-performance computing (HPC) requires higher
bandwidth, but traffic usually occurs between a small number of computing nodes, and the …
