Emerging 5G services are revolutionizing the way operators manage and optimize their
optical metro networks, and the metro network design process must be rethought …

The sheer traffic increase stimulated by new 5G-and-beyond services requires continuous
innovation in designing optical networks that scale in terms of capacity while minimizing …

We investigate optimized placement of hybrid EDFA/Raman amplifiers in (C+ L) networks to
avoid lightpath degradation due to ISRS. We numerically compare eight strategies for …

We study the problem of coupling partially coherent radially polarized (PCRP) vortex beams
into a single-mode optical fiber. Using the well-known concept of the cross-spectral density …

Hybrid erbium-doped fiber (EDF)/Raman amplifiers (HFAs) can be utilized to improve the
performance of specific fiber spans in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) …

This paper studies the physical layer's impact on the blocking probability and energy
consumption of wide-area dynamic elastic optical networks (EONs). For this purpose, we …

We propose a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm-based optimization framework to
support the networks upgrading from C-band to multi-band systems by optimizing the …

With the widespread deployment of data centers, Internet service providers are expecting
more efficient design strategies to build long-haul data center interconnect (DCI) networks …

We investigate the viability of hybrid fiber amplifiers (HFA) and advanced digital signal
processing (DSP)-based transceivers in translucent optical networks. We focus on the …
