Book Description
Abstract: Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is now being widely used in optical networks. WDM significantly increases the capacity of a single fiber by allowing it to simultaneously transmit multiple wavelengths. While such enormous capacity is very exciting, it has also led to the advent of drastically more complex WDM networks. In this work, we consider two architecture design problems for optical networks: (1) the optimal amplifier placement problem, and (2) the traffic grooming, routing, and protection problem for optical networks. In an optical network, optical signals from transmitters attenuate gradually as they propagate through optical fibers, therefore their strength needs to be restored by optical amplifiers before they become too weak to be detected by receivers. Optical amplifiers, however, also introduce the spontaneous emission noise, which is a major problem associated with them. In general, a long optical channel needs enough amplifiers in order to limit the cumulative spontaneous emission noise and attain adequate amplification gain. In our amplifier placement problem, the goal is to minimize the cost associated with optical amplifiers in an optical network subject to constraints on the cumulative spontaneous emission noise. The optical network can be a linear or a mesh network, and the locations of amplifiers can be arbitrary or pre-specified, which are referred as continuous and discrete case, respectively. We propose several different methods based on various optimization techniques and heuristics to solve the problem. In the second part of this work, we consider the traffic grooming, routing, and protection problem in optical networks. There are two basic architectures used in optical networks: ring and mesh. The ring architecture is relatively simple and easy to implement, and it also provides a straightforward way for traffic protection. On the other hand, the mesh architecture is more resilient to various network failures, but is much more complex. Recently, a hybrid architecture that is based on and takes advantage of both ring and mesh architectures has been proposed. We study the traffic grooming, routing, and protection problem for ring, mesh, and hybrid architectures, and use a two-step approach in conjunction with the linear programming technique to solve the problem. Numerical results are provided for a comprehensive comparison between these different architectures.

Book Description
Provides a comprehensive and updated account of WDM optical network systems Optical networking has advanced considerably since 2010. A host of new technologies and applications has brought a significant change in optical networks, migrating it towards an all-optical network. This book places great emphasis on the network concepts, technology, and methodologies that will stand the test of time and also help in understanding and developing advanced optical network systems. The first part of Optical WDM Networks: From Static to Elastic Networks provides a qualitative foundation for what follows—presenting an overview of optical networking, the different network architectures, basic concepts, and a high-level view of the different network structures considered in subsequent chapters. It offers a survey of enabling technologies and the hardware devices in the physical layer, followed by a more detailed picture of the network in the remaining chapters. The next sections give an in-depth study of the three basic network structures: the static broadcast networks, wavelength routed networks, and the electronic/optical logically routed networks, covering the characteristics of the optical networks in the access, metropolitan area, and long-haul reach. It discusses the networking picture; network control and management, impairment management and survivability. The last section of the book covers the upcoming technologies of flex-grid and software defined optical networking. Provides concise, updated, and comprehensive coverage of WDM optical networks Features numerous examples and exercise problems for the student to practice Covers, in detail, important topics, such as, access, local area, metropolitan, wide area all-optical and elastic networks Includes protocols, design, and analysis along with the control and management of the networks Offers exclusive chapters on advance topics to cover the present and future technological trends, such as, software defined optical networking and the flexible grid optical networks Optical WDM Networks: From Static to Elastic Networks is an excellent book for under and post graduate students in electrical/communication engineering. It will also be very useful to practicing professionals in communications, networking, and optical systems.

Book Description
Modeling, Simulation, Design and Engineering of WDM Systems and Networks provides readers with the basic skills, concepts, and design techniques used to begin design and engineering of optical communication systems and networks at various layers. The latest semi-analytical system simulation techniques are applied to optical WDM systems and networks, and a review of the various current areas of optical communications is presented. Simulation is mixed with experimental verification and engineering to present the industry as well as state-of-the-art research. This contributed volume is divided into three parts, accommodating different readers interested in various types of networks and applications. The first part of the book presents modeling approaches and simulation tools mainly for the physical layer including transmission effects, devices, subsystems, and systems), whereas the second part features more engineering/design issues for various types of optical systems including ULH, access, and in-building systems. The third part of the book covers networking issues related to the design of provisioning and survivability algorithms for impairment-aware and multi-domain networks. Intended for professional scientists, company engineers, and university researchers, the text demonstrates the effectiveness of computer-aided design when it comes to network engineering and prototyping.

Book Description
Optical WDM networking technology is spearheading a bandwidth revolution in the networking infrastructure being developed for the next generation Internet. Rapid advances in optical components have enabled the transition from point-to-point WDM links to all-optical networking. Optical WDM Networks: Principles and Practice presents some of the most important challenges facing the optical networking community, along with some suggested solutions. Earlier textbooks in optical networking have a narrower perspective, and rapidly advancing research has created the need for fresh and current information on problems and issues in the field. The volume editors and contributing authors have endeavoured to capture a substantial subset of the key problems and known solutions to these problems. All of the chapters are original contributions from leading international researchers. The chapters address a wide variety of topics, including the state of the art in WDM technology, physical components that make up WDM fiber-optic networks, medium access protocols, wavelength routed networks, optical access networks, network management, and performance evaluation of wavelength routing networks. The chapters also survey critical points in past research and tackle more recent problems. Practitioners and network product engineers interested in current state-of-the-art information beyond textbook-type coverage, and graduate students commencing research in this area, will appreciate the concise - and pertinent - information presented herein.
