Two wavelength reconfigurable optical nodes are designed. One for 20km or shorter link length, and the other for up to 60km link length. While the first one requires no dispersion compensation, the latter needs dispersion compensation fiber included in the node, which requires additional optical amplifier to compensate the insertion loss of DCF. We calculate all the optical path losses in both cases using the typical value of optical components in the market to see the feasibility of the designed optical node. The minimum received power in the node is calculated to be -21.5dBm without DCF and -12.5dBm with DCF, respectively. These received powers are above the receiver sensitivity both for OC-48 and OC-192 according to the previous work.

The standard high-availability seamless redundancy (HSR) protocol utilizes duplicated frame copies of each sent frame for zero fail over time. This means that even in cases of a node or link failure, the destination node will receive at least one copy of the sent frame, resulting in no network downtime. However, the standard HSR is mostly based on the electrical signal connection inside the node, which leads to the production of considerable latency at each node due to frame processing. Therefore, in a large scale HSR ring network, the accumulated latencies become significant and can often restrict the mission-critical real-time application of HSR. In this paper, we present a novel design for optical HSR (OHSR) that uses beam splitting/combining techniques. The proposed OHSR passes the frames directly to adjacent nodes without frame processing at each node, thereby theoretically generating no latency in any node. Various simulations for network samples, made to validate the OHSR design and its performance, show that the OHSR outperforms the standard HSR.

We design a reconfigurable optical node for metropolitan WDM networks, and numerically study the capability of the node in the optical signal level. Unlike a long-haul WDM system, major limitations of metropolitan WDM systems are power loss, fiber dispersion and optical signal-to-noise ratio(OSNR) degradation due to EDFAs. Therefore, we include the behaviors of transmitter and receiver, and fiber, EDFAs, and optical filters(MUX/DeMux) in numerical simulations with varying parameters over wide range. From simulation results, we can identify the maximum span numbers for OC-48 and OC-192 to achieve $BER<10^{-12}$ using the node structure at various received powers and residual dispersions.

The finite element analysis for optimizing a mirror system consisting of a large-diameter mirror and flexures requires numerous, repetitive calculations and corrections of the actual model to satisfy the given design conditions. In general, modification of this real model is conducted by reconfiguring nodes of the elements. The reconfiguration is very time-consuming work, to fix the continuity of each of the newly formed component nodes at the interfaces. But the process is a very important factor in determining the analysis time. To save time in modeling and actual computation, and to attain faster convergence, we present a new opto-mechanical analysis using non-shared node connections at each of the interfaces of the optical components. By comparing the results between the new element model and a conventional element model with shared node connections, we found that the opto-mechanical performance was almost the same, but the time to reach the given condition was drastically reduced.

This paper considers the efficient design of routing path and wavelength assignment in the single-hop WDM optical transport networks. The connection demands between node-pairs are given and a connection between a pair of nodes must be made by only one lightpath. It is assumed that no wavelength conversion is allowed and the physical topology of the network and the number of available wavelengths of a physical link are also given. This paper proposes the method to route a path and assign a wavelength to the path, which guarantees fairness to every node pair. In order to guarantee fairness and maximize connections, an optimization model is established, which successively maximizes minimum connection ratio to the demand of each node pair. A heuristic algorithm with polynomial iterations is developed for the problem since the problem is NP-hard. The heuristic algorithm is implemented and applied to the networks with real problem sizes. The results of the application are compared with GAMS/OSL.

WDM is a very promisinig technique for the realization of future All-Optical networks. WDM gives an advantage of high rate transmission without delay for Electronic/optical conversion. But the available number of wavelengths is limited by technical restriction. so the efficient optical path routing and wavelength assignment is needed. this paper is concerned with the efficient design of WDM optical transport networks. RWA assumes that the connection demands between node pairs are given. the objective of RWA is to minimize the number of wavelengths. these design consider the static routing and wavelength assignment in the network of arbitrary topology. To solve these problems, this paper proposes some heuristic algorithms.

In this paper, we deal with a node weighted Steiner Ring Problem (SRP) arising from the deployment of Synchronous Optical Networks (SONET), a standard of transmission using optical fiber technology. The problem is to find a minimum weight cycle (ring) covering a subset of nodes in the network considering node and link weights. We have developed two mathematical models, one of which is stronger than the other in terms of LP bounds, whereas the number of constraints of the weaker one is polynomially bounded. In order to solve the problem optimally, we have developed some preprocessing rules and valid inequalities. We have also prescribed an effective heuristic procedure for providing tight upper bounds. Computational results show that the stronger model is better in terms of computation time, and valid inequalities and preprocessing rules are effective for solving the problem optimally.

This work demonstrates the design and evaluation of Aqua-Aware, a lightweight miniaturized light emitting diode (LED) based underwater compact sensor node which is used to obtain different characteristics of the underwater environment. Two optical sensor nodes have been designed, developed, and evaluated for a short and medium link range called as Aqua-Aware short range (AASR) and Aqua-Aware medium range (AAMR), respectively. The hardware and software implementation of proposed sensor node, algorithms, and trade-offs have been discussed in this paper. The underwater environment is emulated by introducing different turbulence effects such as air bubbles, waves and turbidity in a 4-m water tank. In clear water, the Aqua-Aware achieved a data rate of 0.2 Mbps at communication link up to 2-m. The Aqua-Aware was able to achieve 0.2 Mbps in a turbid water of 64 NTU in the presence of moderate water waves and air bubbles within the communication link range of 1.7-m. We have evaluated the luminous intensity, packet success rate and bit error rate performance of the proposed system obtained by varying the various medium characteristics.

Recently, the systems using multiple sensors such as magnetic, acoustic and pressure sensor are used for detection of underwater objects or vehicles. Those systems have difficulty of maintenance and repair because they operate underwater. Thus, this paper describes a hybrid detection system with long term operating reliability. This has a multi-signal transmission structure to have a high reliability. First, a signal transmission & receiving part, which transfers data from underwater sensors to land and receive control message from land through optical cable, has 4 multi-path. Second, the nodes for signal transmission are connected dually each other with single-hop construction and sensors are connected to a couple of neighboring nodes. This enables the output signal to transmit from a node to the next node and the next but one node together. Also, the signal from a sensor can be transmitted to two nodes at the same time. Therefore, the system with this construction has high reliability in long term operation because it makes possible to transmit sensor data to another node which works normally although a transmission node or cable in system have some faults.
