This paper proposes an algorithm for design of a multiple ring network that can be applied to an arbitrary topology in the WDM optical transport networks. Especially, we suggest an integer linear program(ILP) formulation with the objective of minimizing the total cost of nodes based on the reconfigurable OADM(ROADM) architecture and propose a heuristic algorithm to reduce computational complexity of the exact problem formulation. To evaluate the performance and validity of this scheme, we applied it to an NSFnet topology assuming the dynamic or static traffic condition and compared it with a mesh methodology about capacity of connection requests and the total cost of the nodes.

We have developed a fully functional reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) switch module using a polymer integrated photonic lightwave circuit technology. The polymer variable optical attenuator (VOA) array and digital optical switch array are integrated into one polymer PLC chip and packaged to form a 10-channel VOA integrated optical switch module. Four of these optical switch modules are used in the ROADM switch module to execute 40-channel switching and power equalization. As a wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) filter device, two C-band 40-channel athermal arrayed waveguide grating WDMs are used in the ROADM module. Optical power monitoring of each channel is carried out using a 5% tap PD. A controller and firmware having the functions of a 40-channel switch and VOA control, optical power monitoring, as well as TEC temperature control, and data communication interfaces are also developed in this study.

Optical-layer restoration has been demonstrated with a wavelength-blocker (WB) -based reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM). Two $2{\times}2$ optical switches with a control circuit were placed before and after a WB-based ROADM to provide automatic path restoration under fiber-failure conditions. Using the proposed node configuration, a 3-node self-healing ring (SHR) network has been implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of the automatic optical-layer restoration. From the results, the restoration time was measured to be ~4 ms under fiber-failure conditions, without any additional power penalty in receiver sensitivity.

BcN 백본망은 데이터 트래픽의 생존성 보장과 다양한 서비스를 유연하게 수용하기 위해 다이내믹하게 운용할 수 있어야 한다. 이와 같은 요구사항을 만족하기 위해 광 스위치를 도입하고, 파장 단위의 경로 설정 및 해제를 자동으로 이루어지도록 하는 ASON개념이 적용된 광 회선 분배 시스템이 개발되고 있다. 최근의 광 회선 분배 기술은ROADM을 중심으로 메트로 망에 도입되고 있으며, 특히 제어평면의 도입에 의해 원격프로비저닝 및 자동 망 구성이 가능하게 되었다. 기술적인 측면에서는 PLC 기반의 광스위치를 채택한 1세대 ROADM 시스템에서 WSS 기반의 광 스위치를 채택한 2세대ROADM으로 이동하고 있으며, 이것이 자연스럽게 PXC로 진화할 것으로 보인다. 경제적인 측면에서는 IPTV 등 새로운 서비스를 지원하기 위하여 대규모 시스템 도입이 본격화되고 있으며, 국내의 경우에도 1-2년 내에 상용화 및 시장 진입이 예상되고 있다. 본 고에서는 이러한 광 회선 분배 기술의 전달평면 및 제어평면 기술과 시장 현황 및 향후 전망에 대하여 알아본다.

This paper presents the design of a computer-generated hologram for beam control of an LCOS-based wavelength selective switch, which is the core technology for next-generation ROADM. By introducing a computer-generated hologram instead of general grating patterns to control the LCOS device, we contribute to building a more efficient wavelength selective switch. With the use of phase modulation properties of LCOS devices, we designed the hologram for five-port output and a 40-channel wavelength selective switch. We applied a multi-level phase modulation technique with the Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm to produce the hologram, which is easily scalable to any different type of wavelength selective switch. With an experimental setup, we verified the usability of the hologram designed for five-port output. We also suggest a hologram design technique for beam control of a 40-channel wavelength selective switch.

This paper presents the characterization of the wavelength selective switch using a LCOS display instead of a MEMS device, which is a core technology for the next generation ROADM. We constructed a five-port WSS, and examined the basic characteristics of the WSS, such as the response time, beam steering, insertion loss, and channel isolation. The response time of WSS was 11.6 mS and the beam steering characteristics of LCOS was well performed. The measured insertion loss at 40 channels in the c-band were 5.5~12.7 dB and channel isolation was 16~18 dB. Although the characteristics of LCOS-based WSS are inferior to the conventional MEMS-based WSS, it can be improved by additional experiments that secure the technology competitiveness.

To reflect the needs of users, the next generation using DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division M ultiplexing) transmission system and OXC (Optical Cross Connect) form a dynamic network. After that GMPLS (Ge neralized Multi-Protocol Label Switching) can be introduced to dynamically manage and control the Reconfigurable Optical Add-drop Multiplexer (ROADM)/Photonic Cross Connect (PXC) based network. This paper propose a softw are architecture of Path Computation Element (PCE) protocol that has proposed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to path computation. The functional blocks and Application Programming Interface (API) of the PCE protoco l implementation are also presented.

With the explosive growth of internet data traffic due to the FTTH penetration, prevalence of smart devices and cloud network service, the demand for higher bandwidth is ever increasing with the pace of more than 40% annual growth. To accommodate ultra high bandwidth traffic, optical components in each hierarchy have progressed rapidly. WDM has begun to be deployed along with higher bandwidth service in the access network. Next-generation ROADM is under development for efficient network management in the metro network. For long-haul transmission, an advanced modulation scheme based on coherent transmission technology has been adopted to enhance spectral efficiency. In this paper, core components to meet the demands of high speed, high efficiency and low power consumption will be reviewed.
