Optical Networking
Optical networking – specifically technology based on DWDM – has finally developed into a full networking technology with its ability to set up connections in an automated fashion. In parallel, the industry has started to integrate optical technology more closely into routers to achieve more economical core and aggregation architectures. At the same time, the ever increasing bandwidth of the Internet and new applications such as video mandate higher bit-rates per wavelength and higher spectral efficiency over the fiber, resulting in optical networks that may be harder to automate due to higher sensitivity to optical impairments.
We are seeking original applied research in the area of DWDM networking at the physical transmission layer; the control plane inside the optical layer and between it and the packet layer; and management of the optical layer and its interaction with the router.
The physical layer research is aimed at achieving long distance unregenerated transmission at 40Gbps and 100Gbps per wavelength as well as low cost 10Gbps for metro distances. While much of the emphasis centers around achieving high performance over existing 50GHz DWDM systems, research into devices that can provide significant value inline with the DWDM system (and not just at the endpoints) is also of interest.
Contemporary control plane research is aimed at automating the optical layer and its interaction with routers and other packet devices. Research into management tools for the optical layer is aimed at further automating the optical layer, providing better troubleshooting capabilities and network planning under unknown traffic patterns.
