Research on space-division multiplexing (SDM) came to prominence in early 2010 being
primarily proposed as a means of multiplying the information-carrying capacity of optical …

Single-mode fiber's physical capacity boundaries will soon be reached; hence, alternative
solutions are much needed to overcome the multiplying and remarkably large bandwidth …

Abstract Space division multiplexing (SDM) is a promising optical network solution with the
scaling potential to overcome the possible capacity crunch problem in backbone networks …

As traffic volumes carried by optical networks continue to grow by tens of percent year over
year, we are rapidly approaching the capacity limit of the conventional communication band …

Elastic optical networking (EON) with space-division multiplexing (SDM) is the only evident
long-term solution to the capacity needs of the future networks. The introduction of space via …

We evaluate the advantages of using the extra dimension introduced by space-division
multiplexing (SDM) for dynamic bandwidth-allocation purposes in a flexible optical network …

Considering middle-term predictions of the need for commercial 10-Tb/s optical interfaces
working in 1-P b/s optical transport systems by 2024 and recalling the introduction of the …

This issue of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, Part A represents a summary
of the recent discussion meeting 'Communication networks beyond the capacity crunch'. The …

For optical networks, routing and resource allocation which considerably determines the
resource efficiency and network capacity is one of the most important works. It has been …

With the continuously growing popularity of cloud services, the traffic volume inside the data
centers is dramatically increasing. As a result, a scalable and efficient infrastructure for data …
