This paper presents the use of distributed, intelligent control and management in optically amplified repeaters. These optical repeater units (ORU's) are used in an optical access network. A Semiconductor optical Amplifier (SOA) has been used in the upstream direction because of the possibility of fast switching. The real time control platform consists of both a hard-and a software part. The software control is handled with the embedded control system FORTRESS developed by IMEC.

A possible way of realizing large optical space switches is by interconnecting multiple 2 X 2 switching elements based on integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). In this paper, the switch size limitations are examined, giving a special emphasis to the phase noise, originated by SOAs. Using a DPSK direct detection scheme and multiple optical filters within the switching network, it is shown that the phase noise becomes the most restrictive factor, preventing to connect more than 200 switching elements, for a bit rate in the gigabit/s range.

Space, time and polarization photonic switching process in nonlinear Kerr-like media is described by the system of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. New analytical solutions to these equations were obtained by means of modification of inverse scattering transform (IST) method. Matrix modification of the IST method is used to solve the problem of two-frequency spatial and temporal solitons. Some 'soliton spectral flashes' at sum and difference frequencies are discovered. It is shown that if the nearest sum and difference frequencies lie in the transmission region then bit-rate capability of optical fiber soliton information superhighways can be increased. When soliton pulses propagate in the optical fiber with loss and inserted optical amplifiers, the main difficulty is that after amplification the soliton lose their ideal soliton shape and nonsoliton radiation appears. A topic of particular interest is the development of the methods of the theory of optimal control of distributed media for the nonlinear equations solvable by the IST method. Novel ideas and results obtained in this paper include distributed optimal control formulation of the IST method. Obtained solution to the problem describe the amplification of the solitons by the optimal manner without formation of nonsoliton radiation.

The optical N-gon prism switch is the simplest multi-layer architecture and a starting point for novel all-optical switching architectures. The N-gon prism switch is composed of parallel waveguides at each layer;switching between the waveguides at each layer and switching between the waveguides at adjacent layers is assumed, and the optics comes in by the transmission of light through the waveguides. Throughout the paper, switch setting algorithms for the N-gon prism switch are discussed where (1) an approach to an algebraic and scalable algorithm is presented for its fast implementation and (2) the further development of the multi-layer switching concept is taken into account.

Power budget dimensioning of semiconductor optical amplifier based SuperPON architectures originating from the EC ACTS project PLANET is described. The upstream power budget is critical for SuperPONs. Under worst case conditions it is found that a 5 SOA cascade in the upstream is capable of achieving the full PLANET target system dimensions (2048 way split and 100 km range). Longer feeders are also found to be possible, with the use of further feeder amplification stages, which is useful for the situation when the SuperPON is to be deployed in a ring trenching structure.

The managed all-optical WDM transport network with the all-optical cross-connects is offering not only the high bandwidth, which can be shared between arbitrary clients accessing the network, by static allocation of the trails (also denoted as optical paths) or the virtual sub-networks, but also the service to perform reconfiguration of such virtual sub-networks and to reassign the capacity according to the demands and services required from the client, by the management actions. To fulfill the management task of providing the optical path, which is characterized by a set of optical parameters in the optical domain, the opticalnetwork management system must act upon the requirements of the different clients. This imposes that these requirements have their representation in the optical domain and vice versa. In this article we are investigating the possible approaches to WDM network management, first starting from the assumption that the capacity in the network can be arbitrarily shared between different transparent optical paths, and then introducing the analogous transmission parameters related to the transmission equipment and media which restrict this capability and make the management of the optical path dependent on the different types of the clients and different utilization of the capacity in the network. It is shown how those parameters are to be assigned to the different layers in the proposed layered architecture model of the opticalnetwork. This model is also discussed from the view point of the management integration and the optical QoS parameters mapping to the client QoS parameters are proposed.

The concept of optically integrated networking is experimentally verified. The operational procedures of the integrated system and methods for signal separation and detection are explained. The degree of degradation of each traffic as a result of the spectral overlapping is analyzed and power penalties evaluated. It is verified that the communication traffic may be recovered with negligible power penalty. The optimum solution in terms of the signal to noise ratio for the sensor traffic is shown to be the whitened matched filter detection. However, this solution results in an unacceptable degree of intersymbol interference (ISI). Thus, a zero forcing ISI solution is also presented and the system performance is re-evaluated taking both the noise and ISI into account.

In this paper, we consider the problem of optimally placing a given number of wavelength converters on a path to minimize the call blocking probability. Using a simple performance model, we first prove that uniform spacing of converters is optimal for the end-to-end performance when link loads are uniform and independent. We then show that significant gains are achievable with optimal placement compared to random placement. For non-uniform link loads, we provide a dynamic programming algorithm for the optimal placement and compare the performance with random and uniform placement.

Subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) opticalnetworks offer a near to medium term alternative solution over high cost, evolving digital technology to distribute broadband services. Majority of existing systems are based on analogue optical transmission techniques and their principle disadvantage is the sensitivity to noise and system nonlinearities. Therefore, conventional SCM systems impose stringent noise and linearity requirements and as a result their performance is limited. A simple and attractive solution is to introduce an appropriate second stage modulator in order to improve the receiver sensitivity, hence the system performance. In this paper a SCM optical transmission system employing pulse position modulation (PPM) as a second stage modulator, for transmission of video, audio and data channels is reported. Signal to noise ratio measurements obtained shows an improvement in optical receiver sensitivity compared with standard SCM systems.
