Reconfigurable Microring Resonator-Based Optical Transmitter for Elastic Optical Networks |

|---|---|---|
The increasing data traffic and shrinking profit margins force network operators to look for intelligent methods of increasing the effective capacity of transmission systems. By employing advanced multicarrier transmission techniques, such as Nyquist wavelength division multiplexing, coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing or time-frequency packing, which utilise closely spaced multiple channels, an increase in spectral efficiency and a terabit scale transmission has been achieved. However, network volumes have not only increased in size, but also become more dynamic. Conventional networks, based on static pre-provisioned links, would struggle to withstand the huge variation in demand of such dynamic networks. An improved solution would entail creating systems that are responsive and flexible and whose capacity can be dynamically directed when and where it is needed. The paradigm of such programmable or software defined networking (SDN) has been widely investigated and deployed in recent years, not only in the data centre [1], but also in LAN and WAN networks [2], [3]. However, to fully realise the promise of improved efficiency and service provisioning time, the programmability cannot be confined to the control and data planes of the telecommunication system. A truly flexible and responsive network requires a dynamic, software controlled physical layer that uses the available resources and infrastructure in the most effective way. The marriage between the programmability of software defined optical networking (SDON) [4] and resource allocation flexibility, brought by elastic optical networks (EON) [5], promises to deliver an optical infrastructure that will be truly future-proof. |
