In this thesis, we analyze the Broadcast and Select Network(BSN) architecture coming up to the issues among those in the single-hip WDM networks and the degradation of performance in consequence of the traffic imbalance which well be able to be produced in these network. We propose WDM networks architecture which can support concurrency services by using Array Wavelength Tunable Filter(AWTF) with the parrallel hardware structure as a solution. For the sake of multichannel communications, we make use of the Single Control channel, Multiple Data channel(SCMD) scheme that is one of the channel architecture. Also, we compare and analize the throughput of Uniform & Nonuniform traffic conditions, and obtain the optimized number of AWTF being able to guarantee the Quality of Service(QoS) required by the enlargement of WDM netowrks and traffic imbalance. Therefore, we can make it possible that the design of the WDM networks with BSN architecture ensures the optimized performance.

In this paper, we have shown the gain recovery time of erbium-doped fiber amplifier(EDFA) in WDM add/drop networks can be reduced to less than $3\mu$sec by employing disturbance observer technique with PID controller which is based on 3-level EBFA model. The $3\mu$sec transient time is the fastest one ever reported and it is about $1\%$ of $250\mu$sec previously obtained from disturbance observer technique with PI controller which was based on 2-level EDFA model and it is also less than $200\mu$sec of commercially available EDFAs for WDM networks. We were able to obtain this result by analyzing various system characteristics as we change the parameters of disturbance observer and PID controller. If this result is applied to a commercial product, the product will do an important role in the future dynamic WDM networks.

In this paper, we have proposed the new link-weight calculating function using for routing decision in WDM networks. The proposed link-weight calculating functions includes following factors those are available wavelengths per link, distance loss, total wavelengths, and limited wavelength conversion. The calculated link-weight is applied into the algorithm of routing decision in order to determine the available lightpath that qualifies user requests. The objective is to improve the performance of wavelengths assignment with fast determining the suitable lightpath by using the proposed link-weights calculating function. The analytical model of WDM switching networks is introduced for numerical analysis. The link-weight calculating function is performed. Finally, the performance of proposed algorithm is displayed with numerical results in term of the blocking probability, the probability that connection requests from users are rejected due to there are no available lightpath to be assigned for them. It is also shown that the blocking probability is varied in depending on the number of available wavelengths and the degree of wavelength conversion. The numerical results also show that the proposed link-weight calculating function is more cost-effective choice for the routing decision in WDM switching networks.

In this paper, we present mathematical models for the ring covering problems arising in the design of multi-ring WDM networks. Also, we present efficient algorithms to solve the suggested models. By the computational experiment, our model can solve the medium-sized networks efficiently and shows better performance than the existing heuristic method. Although we propose an efficient method for the column generation procedure, branching rule that does not destroy the column generation structure is unsolved. Further research is required to develop an effective branching rule.

This paper reviews the optical link technologies which have been developed for gigabit-per-second wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical networks (WDM-PONs). Similarly to the 100Mb/s WDM-PON systems which have been deployed for trial services by KT, the most important requirement for 1Gb/s WDM-PON is wavelength independence (colorless feature) of its ONU/ONTs, which makes possible convenient operation and cost-effective maintenance with minimum inventory cost. Among various methods to implement such colorless feature, four promising candidates for gigabit WDM-PON are analyzed with their own development issues and their expected performances are compared.

In this paper, we address the problem of efficient routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in multi-fiber wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks without wavelength translation, under dynamic traffic. We couple Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm with a suitable weight function which chooses optical paths based both on wavelength availability and multi-fiber segments. We compare our approach with other RWA schemes both for regular and irregular WDM multi-fiber network topologies in terms of blocking probability and overall link utilization.

In this letter, we study the protection problem in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks, and propose a novel dynamic heuristic algorithm called differentiated reliable segment protection (DRSP). Differing from previous work, DRSP can effectively avoid the trap problem and is able to find a feasible solution for each connection request. Therefore, DRSP outperforms the previous work. Simulation results have shown to be promising.

Wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) networks are emerging to be the right choice for the future transport networks. In WDM networks, the optical layer provides circuit-switched lightpath services to the client layer such as IP, SONET and ATM. The set of lightpaths in the optical layer defines the virtual topology. Since the optical switches are reconfigurable, the virtual topology can be reconfigured in accordance with the changing traffic demand pattern at theclient layer in order to optimize the network performance. We present a new approach to the virtual topology reconfiguration and loadbalancing problem for wavelength-routed, optical wide-area networks under dynamic traffic demand. By utilizing the measured Internet backbone traffic characteristics, our approach follows the changes in traffic without assuming that the future traffic pattern is known. For the simulation traffic modeling, we collected the data from real backbone traffic. Experiments show that the standard deviation compared to previous technique is reduced.

Minimizing power consumption in bandwidth limited optical traffic grooming networks is presented as a two-objective optimization problem. Since the main objective is to route a connection, the network throughput is maximized first, and then the minimum power consumption solution is found for this maximized throughput. Both transparent IP over WDM (Tp-IPoWDM) and translucent IP over WDM (Tl-IPoWDM) network may be applied to examine such bi-objective algorithms. Simulations show that the bi-objective algorithms are more energy-efficient than the single objective algorithms where only the throughput is optimized. For a Tp-IPoWDM network, both link based ILP (LB-ILP) and path based ILP (PB-ILP) methods are formulated and solved. Simulation results show that PB-ILP can save more power than LB-ILP because PB-ILP has more path selections when lightpath lengths are limited. For a Tl-IPoWDM network, only PB-ILP is formulated and we show that the Tl-IPoWDM network consumes less energy than the Tp-IPoWDM network, especially under a sparse network topology. For both kinds of networks, it is shown that network energy efficiency can be improved by over-provisioning wavelengths, which gives the network more path choices.

In this paper, for the first time, the transmission performances of long-haul 100-Gb/s direct detection optical OFDM (DDO-OFDM) and coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems are compared by simulation. It provides specific guides for system parameter selection to get a high-performance and cost-effective OFDM WDM system. Specifically, the comparison involves three aspects: launched power is investigated to achieve better system performance; laser linewidth is numerically investigated to choose cost-effective laser; system dispersion tolerances with different laser linewidths are analyzed to further reveal the advantages and disadvantages of these two detecting methods, direct detection and coherent detection, in long-haul OFDM WDM system.
