The feasibility of a survivable all-optical transport network over standard single-mode fibre between eight major European cities is investigated. The chosen topology is intended to ensure survivability after a link or a node failure. The maximum transmiss ...
An optical network is described that is capable of recognizing at standard video rates the identity of faces for which it has been trained. The faces are presented under a wide variety of conditions to the system, and the classification performance is meas ...
A single failure in a communication network can trigger many alarms. We propose an alarm filtering algorithm for the management of an optical network using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). The algorithm supports: (i) multiple failures and (ii) passi ...
With WDM networks, the failure of a single link or component may cause the simultaneous failure of several optical channels, potentially making impossible the restoration by rerouting in higher layers directly using the optical network (SDH, ATM, IP). To a ...

Among all non-linear optical effects observed in single-mode optical fibres, stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is of particular importance since it has numerous practical implications. SBS occurs when laser waves are scattered through the interaction o ...
Polarization dispersion is an effect which may cause data rate penalty in optical links. This is caused by the combined effect of fibre birefringence and polarization couplings due to environmental perturbations. Polarization dispersion is therefore a stoc ...
Distributed Brillouin gain measurements along single mode fibres have demonstrated their potentiality for local temperature sensing and monitoring strains experienced by optical fibres. The results of such measurements is directly related to the acoustic p ...
Following the optical amplifier position in the transmission link, the four-wave mixing (FWM) induced crosstalk is increased up to two times the optical gain. A simple approximate expression of the crosstalk penalty is derived and compared with exact resul ...
This paper presents a new physical layer demonstrator for Optical Local Area Network. It offers a large total capacity to a large number of connected nodes without requiring optical amplifiers and achieves high modularity and scalability. A new multichanne ...
