Abstract
All-optical networks carry information from sources to
destinations in purely optical form, i.e., without any
optical-to-electrical conversion. This enables an
ultra-high-speed network throughput, typically through Wavelength
Division Multiplexing. Wavelength routing is a switching
strategy for wide-area networks that allows the same wavelength
to be reused in spatially disjoint segments of the network.
After an introduction to all-optical networks, this talk will
describe some of our recent results on the benefits of wavelength
conversion in wavelength-routing networks. A performance model
for an arbitrary wavelength conversion density will be
introduced, and the effects of wavelength conversion and
topological connectivity on the blocking performance of a
circuit-switched network will be discussed.
