A Clos network is a classical switching network often used in conventional electrical switches. In a Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) based Clos all-optical switching network, the wavelength dimen…
The ultra-low-loss optical fibers becoming available now offer large effective areas with much better transmission performance than conventional standard single-mode fibers (SSMFs). However, how lo…
Filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM) is a promising candidate for 5G mobile fronthaul system. Due to the inherent imaginary interference of FBMC/OQAM sig…
Elastic optical networks employing multi-core fibers (MCF-EON) have the potential to expand significantly the transmission capacity of optical transport. However, wide deployment of such networks d…
Inter-core crosstalk causes serious signal impairment in a multi-core fiber (MCF) optical network. With the extensive usage of data centers, traffic demands become increasingly asymmetric, leading …
Elastic optical networks (EON) technology in combination with space division multiplexing (SDM) is considered as having the potential to expand the transmission capacity of optical transport networ…
