Bit error evaluation of optically preamplified direct detection receiver with Fabry-Perot optical filters

The error performance of a preamplified, direct detection receiver with an optical filter of the Lorentzian type is studied. The analysis takes into account the influence of the optical intersymbol interference (ISI). A closed-form expression of the moment generating function (MGF) of the decision variable is derived. Error probabilities are evaluated from the MGF using a saddlepoint approximation. The Gaussian approximation is also examined. The detection sensitivity in terms of a quantum limit is calculated. The results show that there exists an optimum optical bandwidth, the reason being a tradeoff between the effect of ISI and the spontaneous emission noise. It is also shown that the Gaussian approximation gives a good estimate of the error probability, allowing to find in a simple manner the optimum parameters of optically preamplified, direct detection receive

Técnicas de etiquetado de señales ópticas en redes de conmutación de ráfagas

En este artículo presentamos una revision de los asuntos mas importantes relacionados con las redes de conmutacion de ráfagas de señales ópticas etiquetadas (LOBS - Labeled optical burst switched) y las tecnologias que permitiran en un futuro disponer de redes totalmente ópticas. La conmutacion de ráfagas de señales ópticas etiquetadas permite de un modo rapido y con un mecanismo eficiente de enrutamiento, el direccionamiento de paquetes/ráfagas sobre redes multiplexadas por división de onda (WDM - Wavelength división multiplexing). Por otro lado, y debido a que se unifica el algoritmo de enrutamiento y tiene una baja latencia, esta tecnologia es facilmente escalable hasta rangos de Terabits.Peer Reviewe

In-band time-to-live signaling system for combined DPSK/SCM scheme in OLS

We propose and validate experimentally a time-to-live (TTL) signaling system for an optical label swapping scheme based on 10-Gb/s differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK) packets and with 100-Mb/s subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) label. The proposed scheme allows fast packet discarding by using a 3-GHz subcarrier tone. DPSK payload has only a 2.4-dB power penalty at 10-9 bit-error rate after superimposing the SCM and TTL labeling signal

First end-to-end PQC protected DPU-to-DPU communications

The appearance of quantum computing in the short foreseeable future and its capability to break conventional cryptographic algorithms forces to change the paradigm of secure real-time communications. Thus, government organizations, data centers, and enterprises among others are migrating their public key infrastructure towards using post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms in order to mitigate the security threats posed by quantum computers. This letter presents the first quantum resilient secure end-to-end communication link based on PQC algorithms operating between two data-processing units DPU. Both data-processing units employ on-board ARM processors to perform the computationally expensive cryptographic building blocks—in that case CRYSTALS-Kyber as a key encapsulation mechanism and CRYSTALS-Dilithium for digital signature scheme in combination with advanced encryption standard with 256-bit key

Modeling the video distribution link in the Next Generation Optical Access Networks

In this work we present a model for the design and optimization of the video distribution link in the next generation optical access network. We analyze the video distribution performance in a SCM-WDM link, including the noise, the distortion and the fiber optic nonlinearities. Additionally, we consider in the model the effect of distributed Raman amplification, used to extent the capacity and the reach of the optical link. In the model, we use the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the purpose to obtain capacity limitations and design constrains of the next generation optical access networks.
