  2. 1. Energy Saving vs. Performance: Trade-offs in Optical Networks

    Author : Pawel Wiatr; Paolo Monti; Josep Solé-Pareta; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy-efficiency; optical networks; RWA; side-effects; device reliability performance; network performance; operational cost; benefits; loss; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : The energy consumption of communication networks is continuously growing. Many energy saving approaches have been proposed at the device, system, and network level. The most promising way to address this problem is to utilize photonic technologies as much as possible thanks to their low energy consumption per bit performance. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modulation Properties of Vertical Cavity Light Emitters

    Author : Renaud Stevens; KTH; []
    Keywords : Semiconductor lasers; VCSEL; high-speed modulation; fibre optic networks; datacom; RCLED; plastic optical fibre;

    Abstract : It is estimated that, between the year 2000 and 2003, thenumber of online Internet users will grow from 250 millions to500 millions. This growth results in rapidly increasing demandfor fibre-optic communication bandwidth, occurring at alllevels: from access and local area networks (LANs) tometro-area networks (MANs). READ MORE

  5. 3. Reconfigurable and transparent wavelength division multiplexed optical transport networks

    Author : Erland Almström; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis is about reconfigurable and transparentwavelength division multiplexed (WDM) networks.Reconfigurability is used to achieve higher surveillance andthroughput in the network. This is done by wavelength selectiveand independent network elements. These network elements canaccomplish bypass and protection switching ofthe traffic. READ MORE
