Random Walk for modelling Multi Core Fiber cross-talk and step distribution characterisation

Alessandro Ottino, Hui Yuan, Yunnuo Xu +2

A novel random walk based model for inter-core cross-talk (IC-XT) characterization of multi-core fibres capable of accurately representing both time-domain distribution and frequen…

On the Relationship Between Network Topology and Throughput in Mesh Optical Networks

Daniel Semrau, Shahzaib Durrani, Georgios Zervas +2

The relationship between topology and network throughput of arbitrarily-connected mesh networks is studied. Taking into account nonlinear channel properties, it is shown that throu…

Experimental Analysis on Variations and Accuracy of Crosstalk in Trench-Assisted Multi-core Fibers

Hui Yuan, Alessandro Ottino, Yunnuo Xu +8

Space division multiplexing using multi-core fiber (MCF) is a promising solution to cope with the capacity crunch in standard single-mode fiber based optical communication systems.…

SWIFT: Scalable Ultra-Wideband Sub-Nanosecond Wavelength Switching for Data Centre Networks

Thomas Gerard, Christopher Parsonson, Zacharaya Shabka +3

We propose a time-multiplexed DS-DBR/SOA-gated system to deliver low-power fast tuning across S-/C-/L-bands. Sub-ns switching is demonstrated, supporting 12250 GHz channels…

PULSE: Optical circuit switched Data Center architecture operating at nanosecond timescales

Joshua L. Benjamin, Thomas Gerard, Domaniç Lavery +2

We introduce PULSE, a sub-microsecond optical circuit-switched data centre network architecture controlled by distributed hardware schedulers. PULSE is a flat architecture that use…
