The various topologies, traffic patterns and cost targets of optical networks have prevented
the deployment of end-to-end solutions across multi-domains, and the optimization of the …

Metro aggregation is one of the fastest growing segments in telecommunications in terms of
data traffic. At the intersection of core and access, where coherent modules compete with …

Nowadays, the booming of emerging network services have shifted the major traffic pattern
in metro-aggregation networks from point-to-point (P2P) to hub-and-spoke (H&S). Hence, it …

The horseshoe topology is widely used to realize metro-aggregation networks, since it
provides a natural fit to the hub-and-spoke traffic pattern present in the majority of these …

Recently, to cope with the ever-growing traffic volumes and network services in the Internet,
the coherent point-to-multipoint transceivers (P2MP-TRXs) enabled by digital subcarrier …

A real-time implementation of a coherent optical pluggable module using digital sub-carrier
(DSC) multiplexing has recently been demonstrated. Whilst these modules can support …

Filterless optical networks (FONs) as an economical solution use passive couplers/splitters
rather than expensive active filter devices. In this way, after intermediate and destination …

The rapid development of emerging network services are shifting the major communication
scheme in metro-aggregation networks from unicast to in-cast and multicast, which has …
