This paper serves to highlight the gains in SNR margin and/or data capacity that can be
achieved through a proper optimization of the transceiver parameters, for example, launch …

From the analysis of statistical properties of real networks, it is found that general extreme
value (GEV) distribution provides an accurate model for link length statistics of optical …

We propose and evaluate a metric for the value proposition of bit rate adaptive transmission
in the form of the quasi‐static multiplicative increase in network traffic that could be …

The placement of regenerators in optical networks has become an active area of research
during the last few years. Given a set of lightpaths in a network G and a positive integer d …

Optical networks form the backbone of modern communications and the Internet and with
the ever increasing popularity of video streaming and other high bandwidth applications to …

Consider a rectangular matrix describing some type of communication or transportation
between a set of origins and a set of destinations, or a classification of objects by two …
