This article presents the key ingredients and the best practices for implementing simple,
effective and robust control and calibration procedures for arbitrary photonic integrated …

Consistent growth in the volume and dynamic behavior of traffic mandates new
requirements for fast and adaptive resource allocation in metro networks. We propose a …

The analysis of a public performance monitoring dataset reveals that reducing margins
necessarily amounts to trade availability off for capacity. After carefully establishing this fact …

Considering the time-averaged behavior of a metro elastic optical network, we develop a
joint procedure for resource allocation and traffic shaping to exploit the inherent service …

The point of lowering optical network margins is to optimize the efficiency of current and
future infrastructures. Margins are initially meant to guarantee a high reliability. Thus, the low …

We propose a novel digital signal processing architecture for a coherent receiver that allows
instantaneous and hitless variable baud rate transmission for integer sub-division values …

Optical backbone networks are required to be highly adaptable in terms of bandwidth
allocation, to accommodate the dynamic demands of emerging broadband wireless and …

We study the requirements that Control, Orchestration, and Management (COM) systems for
optical networks should fulfil, present a minimal set of components they should implement …
