Optical Network Digital Twin -- Practical Use Cases and Architecture
Hideki Nishizawa, Toru Mano, Kazuya Anazawa +17
With the widespread adoption of AI, machine-to-machine communications are rapidly increasing, reshaping the requirements for optical networks. Recent advances in Gaussian noise mod…
A Zero Added Loss Multiplexing (ZALM) Source Simulation
Jerry Horgan, Alexander Nico-Katz, Shelbi L. Jenkins +6
Zero Added Loss Multiplexing (ZALM) offers broadband, per channel heralded EPR pairs, with a rich parameter space that allows its performance to be tailored for specific applicatio…
Entanglement Purification With Finite Latency Classical Communication in Quantum Networks
Vivek Vasan, Alexander Nico-Katz, Boulat A. Bash +2
Quantum networks rely on high fidelity entangled pairs distributed to nodes, but maintaining their fidelity is challenged by environmental decoherence during storage. Entanglement…
Beyond Redundancy: Toward Agile Resilience in Optical Networks to Overcome Unpredictable Disasters
Toru Mano, Hideki Nishizawa, Takeo Sasai +9
Resilience in optical networks has traditionally relied on redundancy and pre-planned recovery strategies, both of which assume a certain level of disaster predictability. However,…
Generalized few-shot transfer learning architecture for modeling the EDFA gain spectrum
Agastya Raj, Zehao Wang, Tingjun Chen +2
Accurate modeling of the gain spectrum in Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) is essential for optimizing optical network performance, particularly as networks evolve toward mult…
Heterogeneous Transmission of Analog Radio and Digital Coherent Signals Over Multi-Span Metro and PON for Bandwidth-Efficient Fronthaul in mmWave Centralized RAN Networks [Invited]
