This study focuses on the routing and Wavelength-Assignment (RWA) problem in
wavelength-routed optical WDM networks. Most of the attention is devoted to such networks …

This book takes a pragmatic approach to deploying state-of-the-art optical networking
equipment in metro-core and backbone networks. The book is oriented towards practical …

Dense WDM technologies make effective use of the vast fiber bandwidth and offer an added
dimension to all-optical networks. Wavelength conversion at key network nodes is emerging …

The explosion of data traffic and the availability of enormous bandwidth via dense
wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and optical amplifier (OA) technologies make it …

In this half-day tutorial, we present the current state-of-the-art in optical networks. We begin
by discussing the various optical devices used in optical networks. Then, we present …

We present two dynamic routing algorithms based on path and neighborhood link
congestion in all-optical networks. In such networks, a connection request encounters higher …

Consider an optical network which employs wavelength-routing crossconnects that enable
the establishment of wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) connections between node …

We present an analytical technique of very low complexity, using the inclusion-exclusion
principle of combinatorics, for the performance evaluation of all-optical, wavelength-division …

In simple wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) networks, a connection must be
established along a route using a common wavelength on all of the links along the route …

Wavelength division multiplexed point-to-point transport is becoming commonplace in wide
area networks. With the expectation that the next step is end-to-end networking of …
