The wave function of a composite system is defined in relativity on a space–time surface. In
the explicitly covariant light-front dynamics, reviewed in the present article, the wave …

We address the issue of how to provide basic quality of service (QoS) in optical burst-
switched WDM networks with limited fiber delay lines (FDLs). Unlike existing buffer-based …

Expanding Internet-based services are driving the need for evermore bandwidth in the
network backbone. These needs will grow further as new real-time multimedia applications …

An overview of existing methods of wavelength and wavelength instability measurement is
presented. The methods are classified on the basis of the applied physical phenomena …

We consider the problem of establishing dependable connections in WDM networks with
dynamic traffic demands. We call a connection with fault-tolerant requirements a …

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 converters increase the traffic-carrying capacity of circuit-switched optical
networks by relaxing the wavelength continuity constraints. We consider the problem of …

The advent of fiber optic transmission systems and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)
have led to a dramatic increase in the usable bandwidth of single fiber systems. This book …

This paper studies multihop optical networks in which nodes employ wavelength routing
switches that enable the establishment of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) channels …
