  • Scalability analysis of machine learning QoT estimators for a cloud-native SDN controller on a WDM over SDM network

     View Summary

    Maintaining a good quality of transmission (QoT) in optical transport networks is key to maintaining the service level agreement between the user and the service provider. QoT prediction techniques have been used to assure the quality of new lightpaths as well as that of the previously provisioned ones. Traditionally, two different approaches have been used: analytical methods, which take into account most physical impairments that are accurate but complex, and high margin formulas, which require much less computational resources at the cost of high margins. With the recent progress of machine learning (ML) together with software defined networking (SDN), ML has been considered as another option that could be both accurate and that does not consume as many resources as analytical methods. SDN architectures are difficult to scale because they are usually centralized; this is even worse with QoT predictors using ML. In this paper, a solution to this issue is presented using a cloud-native architecture, and its scalability is evaluated using three different ML QoT predictors and experimentally validated in a real wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) over spatial-division multiplexing (SDM) testbed.

    In this work, we present an experimental demonstration of real-time transoceanic space-division multiplexed transmission with coupled-core multicore fibers. To compensate for modal coupling in the coupled-core multicore fibers, we implement real-time multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) digital signal processing based on field programmable gate array circuits. Using optical receivers with a real-time MIMO, we demonstrate 16-channel wavelength-division multiplexed coupled four-core fiber transmission over 7200 km. The results show the feasibility of real-time coupled-core multicore fiber transmission.

     View Summary

    The total capacity of optical submarine cable systems as a global communication infrastructure must be continuously enlarged. Multi-core fibers (MCFs) have been studied as methods to maximize the total cable capacity under electrical power and cable space limitations. In particular, standard cladding MCFs, which are expected to have high productivity and mechanical reliability, are attractive for early deployment in submarine cable systems. In this paper, we demonstrate high-capacity trans-Pacific class transmission using standard cladding uncoupled 4-core fibers, achieving a transmission capacity of 55.94 Tbit/s over 12,040 km. In addition, based on the results of this and our previous coupled MCF transmission experiments, we summarize the characteristics of coupled and uncoupled MCFs applied to optical submarine cable systems.

  • 50.47-Tbit/s Standard Cladding Coupled 4-Core Fiber Transmission Over 9,150 km

    Daiki Soma, Shohei Beppu, Yuta Wakayama, Seiya Sumita, Hidenori Takahashi, Noboru Yoshikane, Itsuro Morita, Takehiro Tsuritani, Masatoshi Suzuki

    JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY   39 ( 22 ) 7099 - 7105  2021.11

     View Summary

    Since optical submarine cable systems are a part of the global communications infrastructure, their total capacity must be continuously and dramatically enlarged. Recently, methods how to maximize the transmission capacity under electrical power limitations have been studied, and it has been reported that a single band (C-band only) transmission system with more fiber pairs (FPs) could be a promising technology. This finding has triggered work on submarine cables with more FPs. For a further increase in FPs in optical submarine cable systems, which also have space limitations in existing cable designs, space-division multiplexing (SDM) technologies such as multi-core fibers (MCFs) and multi-mode fibers (MMFs) could be promising solutions. In particular, 125-mu m standard cladding SDM fibers are attractive for early deployment in submarine cable systems since they are expected to have high productivity and high mechanical reliability similar to existing single-mode fibers (SMFs) with the same cladding diameter. In this paper, we report transpacific MCF transmission over a 30-nm bandwidth using standard cladding ultralow-loss coupled 4-core fibers, extending our previous work. The Q(2)-factors of 608 (4 core x 152 WDM) SDM/WDM channels modulated with 24-Gbaud DP (dual polarization)-QPSK (quadrature phase shift keying) exceeded the assumed forward error correction (FEC) limits after a 9,150-km transmission. As a result, transmission capacity of 50.47 Tbit/s and a capacity-distance product of 461.8 Pbit/s center dot km were achieved for standard cladding diameter SDM fibers.

  • TAPI-enabled SDN control for partially disaggregated multi-domain (OLS) and multi-layer (WDM over SDM) optical networks [Invited]

     View Summary

    Network operators are facing a critical issue on their optical transport networks to deploy 5G$+$+ and Internet of Things services. They need to address the capacity increase by a factor of 10, while keeping a similar cost per user. Over the past years, network operators have been working on the optical disaggregated approach with great interest for achieving the required efficiency and cost reduction. In particular, partially disaggregated optical networks make it possible to decouple the transponders from the transport system (known as an open line system) that are provided by different vendors. On the other hand, space division multiplexing (SDM) has been proposed as the key technology to overcome the capacity crunch that the optical standard single-mode fibers are facing to support the forecasted $10 \times$10× growth. Spatial core switching is gaining interest because it makes it possible to deploy SDM networks to bypass the overloaded wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks, by provisioning spatial media channels between WDM nodes. This paper presents, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental demonstration of transport-application-programming-interface-enabled software defined networking control architecture for partially disaggregated multi-domain and multi-layer (WDM over SDM) optical networks.

    For weakly coupled mode-division multiplexed (MDM) transmission systems, we design and implement optical coherent receiver prototypes with real-time multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) digital signal processing to equalize two degenerate linearly polarized modes with dual polarization. Using field programmable gate array circuits, we implement real-value 8 x 2 MIMO adaptive equalization with externally separated phase compensators based on the least mean square algorithm, which enables not only training equalization but also fast carrier-phase tracking. With the optical coherent MIMO receiver prototype, we demonstrate real-time weakly coupled 10 x MDM wavelength-division multiplexed dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying transmission over 48-km few-mode fibers. This report shows a record number of multiplexed spatial modes, namely, 10 modes with dual polarization, in real-time MDM transmission experiments.

  • 402.7-Tb/s MDM-WDM Transmission Over Weakly Coupled 10-Mode Fiber Using Rate-Adaptive PS-16QAM Signals

    JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY   38 ( 10 ) 2834 - 2840  2020.05

     View Summary

    The mode-division-multiplexing (MDM) transmission technique using a few-mode fiber (FMF) has been investigated to overcome the theoretical limitation of the transmission capacity of a single-mode fiber. In MDM transmission, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) digital signal processing (DSP) is generally required on the receiver side to compensate for the modal crosstalk (XT) between the spatial modes. However, the computational cost is high, especially for high-order MDM systems that use many spatial modes. To reduce the MIMO matrix size, MDM transmission with partial MIMO-based DSP has been proposed using weakly coupled FMFs. The modal XT in such fibers can be suppressed by a special fiber design; however, the modal XT still remains and strongly limits the signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and capacity. To further increase the capacity for a given SNR, an optimization of the modulation format is significant. Recently, probabilistic shaping (PS) has received attention since it can gradually change the entropy of a modulation format and maximize the capacity for a given SNR. In this article, we demonstrate weakly coupled 10-mode-multiplexed transmission with four 4 x 4 MIMOs and two 2 x 2 MIMOs using rate-adaptive PS-16QAM signals over 48-km FMF, achieving a record transmission capacity of 402.7 Tb/s in 125-mu m cladding single-core fiber transmission experiments. Furthermore, we also show the possibility of a further capacity increase by adjusting the entropies of the PS-16QAM signals depending on the spatial mode.

     View Summary

    Space division multiplexing (SDM) super-channels are the only way to guarantee a sustainable scaling of the optical line interface rate. High-capacity terabit interfaces can be deployed by logically associating several optical sub-channels transmitted in parallel in different spatial cores or modes in order to create an (logical) optical channel with the desired interface rate. This paper is focused on the use of spatial modes for SDM super-channels. First, we present a software defined networking (SDN)-controlled disaggregated SDM network architecture that deploys the proposed sliceable-mode transceivers with multiple-input multiple-output equalization. Then, we present the adaptive SDN workflow and heuristics for the provisioning, scaling up/down, and soft-failure restoration of SDM super-channels using spatial modes. Two proofs of concept are deployed in the joint testbed between KDDI Research and CTTC.

     View Summary

    The combination of spatial division multiplexing (SDM) with flexi-grid wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) enables optical transceivers to provide super-channels that exploit the spectral and spatial dimensions. For the first time to the best of our knowledge, in this paper we extend SDM-WDM transceivers to support sliceability and make effective use of spatial and spectral resources. The proposed architecture provides multiple independent spectral-spatial super-channels (i.e., slices) sharing the same transceiver and exploiting different spectrum/core/mode resources. The proposed architecture also enables us to monitor the bit error rate of the provisioned slices in order to detect any signal-quality degradation due to the provisioning of additional slices. On the other hand, there is a general trend toward the disaggregation of optical networks. In this paper, we also propose the first open application program interface based on a YANG data model and NETCONF protocol for software-defined-networking-enabled sliceable SDM-WDM transceivers. The proposed transceiver is experimentally validated in a joint test bed between CTTC and KDDI research.

     View Summary

    Partial multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)based weakly coupled mode-division multiplexing (MDM) transmission is proposed to reduce the MIMO matrix size in MDM. This technique can mitigate the burden of MIMO processing for high-order few-mode fiber (FMF) transmission. In this paper, we first show that modal XT can be sufficiently suppressed over the C+L band using a weakly coupled FMF and a highly mode-selective multiplexer/demultiplexer. Next, 10-mode-multiplexed 336-WDM transmission of dual-carrier 12-Gbaud dual-polarization-quadrature phase-shift keying signals over a 48-km weakly coupled FMF using only 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 partial MIMOs is demonstrated. To the best of our knowledge, in this experiment, we achieved a record fiber capacity of 257 Tbps with an aggregate spectral efficiency of 30.5 bit/s/Hz in single-core fiber transmission.

    We show all-fiber-based selective mode multiplexers and demultiplexers for weakly-coupled mode-division multiplexed systems. We fabricate a set of six-mode multiplexer and demultiplexer based on fiber mode selective couplers, and experimentally evaluate the performance for the six-mode dual-polarization (DP) quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) optical signals. In the mode multiplexer and demultiplexer, the mode couplings between the lower three modes and the higher three modes are suppressed to be less than -20 dB, which enables us to apply partial 6x6 MIMO equalizers even for the six-mode demultiplexing. For the six-mode DP-QPSK signals, the penalty of optical signal-to-noise ratio by replacing the full 12x12MIMO to the partial 6x6 MIMO is suppressed by less than 1 dB. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

     View Summary

    Space-division multiplexing (SDM) is an attractive technique for dramatically enhancing the transmission capacity in a single optical fiber. Recently, ultradense SDM transmission experiments with a spatial multiplicity of over 100 have been reported by using few mode multicore fibers (FM-MCFs). Considering the maximum capacity of around 100 Tb/s reported in single-mode single-core fiber transmission experiments, the capacity in FM-MCF transmission with more than 100 spatial channels is expected to reach 10 peta-b/s; however, the maximum capacity has been limited to 2 peta-b/s. In this paper, we demonstrate ultradense SDM transmission of 739 WDM 12-Gbd dual polarization-64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)/16-QAM signals over 11.3-km 6-mode 19-core fiber using the C+L band, achieving a record fiber capacity of 10.16 peta-b/s with an aggregate spectral efficiency of 1099.9 b/s/Hz.

     View Summary

    The metro-embedded datacenter (ME-DC) architecture which is based on micro-DCs (mDC) is introduced and implemented to deliver more flexible services with less access latency. Hierarchical SDN control is employed to adaptively interconnect the distributed mDCs and the metro network slices into re-configurable virtual DC (VDC). Such an approach improves the overall resource mobility, especially for traveling users that need to dynamically access the service. In this paper, the VDC re-configuration and pre-configuration mechanisms for dynamic user access are proposed and demonstrated for the first time. In specific, by re-configuring the VDC with the most accessible resources with user location tracking, fast and flexible service is provided with consistent service access. Furthermore, by pre-configuring the VDC with user prediction, mDC and metro network resources are reserved in advance for users in order to provide seamless service. Demonstration based on the implemented ME-DC prototype shows that VDC is adaptively constructed for dynamic user access with fast and flexible service provisioning.

     View Summary

    Internet of Things (IoT) requires cloud infrastructures for data analysis (e.g., temperature monitoring, energy consumption measurement, etc.). Traditionally, cloud services have been implemented in large datacenters in the core network. Core cloud offers high-computational capacity with moderate response time, meeting the requirements of centralized services with low-delay demands. However, collecting information and bringing it into one core cloud infrastructure is not a long-term scalable solution, particularly as the volume of IoT devices and data is forecasted to explode. A scalable and efficient solution, both at the network and cloud level, is to distribute the IoT analytics between the core cloud and the edge of the network (e.g., first analytics on the edge cloud and the big data analytics on the core cloud). For an efficient distribution of IoT analytics and use of network resources, it requires to integrate the control of the transport networks (packet and optical) with the distributed edge and cloud resources in order to deploy dynamic and efficient IoT services. This paper presents and experimentally validates the first IoT-aware multilayer (packet/optical) transport software defined networking and edge/cloud orchestration architecture that deploys an IoT-traffic control and congestion avoidance mechanism for dynamic distribution of IoT processing to the edge of the network (i.e., edge computing) based on the actual network resource state.

  • Bit-Error Ratio Performance Improvement Using Iterative Decoding for Polybinary-Shaped Super-Nyquist Wavelength Division Multiplexed Signals

    Shuai Yuan, Koji Igarashi, Takehiro Tsuritani, Itsuro Morita

    JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY   35 ( 21 ) 4605 - 4612  2017.11

     View Summary

    In super-Nyquist wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems with frequency spacing smaller than the signal baudrate, the maximum-likelihood (ML) decoder in the receiver is usually introduced to compensate for intersymbol interference due to tight spectral filtering, such as polybinary shaping. After the ML decoder, symbol errors tend to propagate, causing excess continuous errors. Considering that forward error correction (FEC) is commonly introduced, the excess continuous errors degrade bit-error ratio (BER) performance after FEC, so-called post-FEC BER. In order to suppress the performance degradation, we introduce iterative decoding between the first ML decoder for polybinary shaping and the second FEC decoder in the receiver. First, we calculate BER characteristics of polybinary-shaped super-Nyquist WDM quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signals. The results show that iterative decoding is effective for improving post-FEC BER performance. A lager pre-FEC BER threshold for post-FEC BER < 10(-5) is obtained in super-Nyquist WDM case than in the Nyquist WDM case, although a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is required. Next, we measure the BER characteristics of three-channel duobinary-shaped super-Nyquist WDM 12.5-Gbaud dual-polarization QPSK signals. The iterative decoding reduces the optical SNR penalty by 0.8 dB. A larger pre-FEC BER threshold of 3.1 x 10(-2) is obtained in the duobinary-shaped super-Nyquist WDM case, compared with the threshold of 2.2 x 10(-2) in the Nyquist WDM case.

    Journal of Optical Communications and Networking   9 ( 10 ) 900 - 908  2017

     View Summary

    Traditional data centers (DCs) that are located in distant areas usually lack flexibility and also have long service latency for metro users. On the other hand, the recently introduced and implemented metro-embedded data center (ME-DC) architecture, based on micro-data centers (mDCs), delivers more flexible services with less access latency. Hierarchical software-defined network control is employed to virtualize and holistically coordinate the distributed mDCs and metro network slices into a reconfigurable virtual data center. Such an approach improves the overall resource mobility and access to the service; however, the impact on the metro network traffic profile induced by user/mDC and inter-mDC connections due to the dispersion of mDCs has not been evaluated. In this paper, we develop a mixed integer linear programming model that optimizes the total DC traffic, taking into consideration the intra-, inter-, and external DC communications. Furthermore, we numerically assess the changes in the metro network traffic induced by ME-DC architecture, considering different types of DCs and their corresponding traffic profile. Simulation shows that the distribution of the mDCs has a beneficial effect, leading to a fourfold reduction in the total traffic load.

     View Summary

    In the context of the fifth generation of mobile technology (5G), multiple technologies will converge into a unified end-to-end system. For this purpose, software defined networking (SDN) is proposed, as the control paradigm will integrate all network segments and heterogeneous optical and wireless network technologies together with massive storage and computing infrastructures. The control orchestration protocol is presented as a unified transport application programming interface solution for joint cloud/network orchestration, allowing interworking of heterogeneous control planes to provide provisioning and recovery of quality of service (QoS)-aware end-to-end services. End-to-end QoS is guaranteed by provisioning and restoration schemes, which are proposed for optical circuit/packet switching restoration bymeans of signalmonitoring and adaptivemodulation and adaptive route control, respectively. The proposed solution is experimentally demonstrated in an international multi-partner test bed, which consists of a multi-domain transport network comprising optical circuit switching and optical packet switching domains controlled by SDN/OpenFlow and Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control planes and a distributed cloud infrastructure. The results show the dynamic provisioning of IT and network resources and recovery capabilities of the architecture.

  • Software-defined optical networks and network abstraction with functional service design [invited]

    Cao, X., Yoshikane, N., Popescu, I., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Journal of Optical Communications and Networking   9 ( 4 ) C65 - C75  2017

     View Summary

    The combination of software-defined networking (SDN) and optics, i.e., a software-defined optical network (SDON), offers combined benefits that include flexible SDN control and large optical transport capacity. In this paper, we introduce the unified SDN as a common control solution for end-to-end OCS/OPS networks, with the introduction of an additional network element, namely the OpenFlow agent. The SDN control plane is implemented in the OPS network for simplified data plane design, optimal network organization, and contention alleviation, as well as improved control flexibility and advanced handling of network dynamics. The SDON demonstration is conducted in the nationwide transport networks constructed with different technologies via various internetworking testbeds. Based on the SDON platform, we further introduce the service design concept for advanced network abstraction. The general network architecture based on a service design concept offering flexible, reconfigurable, and economical end-to-end (FREE) service features is described. This service design aims to provide customized service and maximum network freedom with virtualized and flexibly selected functionalities, while maintaining a moderate network configuration cost and promoting network innovation at the same time. Moreover, the service design concept could easily be extended to any layers and any network domains, thus providing the unified network abstraction ability and the end-to-end control solution. Based on the service design, control, coordinated, and orchestrated optical transmission is demonstrated by reconfiguring the virtualized optical functions. This type of approach to network abstraction is further exploited in the heterogeneous multidomain networks, where differentiated and featured service provisioning is demonstrated.

  • Optimal and dynamic virtual datacenter provisioning over metro-embedded datacenters with holistic SDN orchestration

    Cao, X., Popescu, I., Chen, G., Guo, H., Yoshikane, N., Tsuritani, T., Wu, J., Morita, I.

    Optical Switching and Networking   24   1 - 11  2017

     View Summary

    Conventional mega datacenter (DC) lacks flexibility and has poor service connectivity for users faraway. Therefore, the metro-embeded DC architecture has been introduced to deliver more reliable and flexible services with less access latency. For fine-grained all-optical switching ability and high bandwidth connection, optical burst switching (OBS) ring is deployed inside the micro-DCs (mDC) and OBS over wavelength switched optical network paradigm is used for inter-mDC communication. Meanwhile, hierarchical SDN control is employed to virtualize and holistically coordinate the distributed mDCs and the metro network slices into reconfigurable virtual DC (VDC). Optimal VDC provisioning based on an integer linear programming (ILP) formulation is also developed in the SDN control plane to provide services With minimum latency and traffic load. A dynamic VDC provisioning algorithm based on partial ILP is further Proposed to reconfigure the VDC with reduced complexity considering the user and resource dynamics. Experimental demonstrations conducted on the implemented metro-embedded DC prototype testbed show that optimal and fast VDC provisioning is realized based on the proposed ILP, while dynamic VDC reconfiguration makes sure that VDC is adjusted accordingly with the change of user location and resource requirement.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   35 ( 3 ) 506 - 512  2017

     View Summary

    In this Paper, we experimentally demonstrate highly flexible and intelligent interdomain coordinated actions based on adaptive software-defined networking (SDN) orchestration. An advanced multidomain multitechnology testbed is implemented, which consists of a 400-Gb/s variable capacity optical packet switching domain and a Tb/s-class flexi-grid wavelength division multiplexed optical circuit switching domain. The SDN-controllable transponders and the extended transport applications programming interface enable the congestion-aware provisioning of end-to-end real-time services. At the data plane level, different transponders based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing are employed for inter/intradomain links in order to adaptively provision services with fine granularity. For adaptation, SDN-capable domain-specific optical performance monitors are also introduced. In the control plane, the applications based network operations architecture has been extended and addressed as an adaptive SDN orchestrator.

    Software-defined optical network has the combined benefit of both control flexibility and large transport capacity, thus having the potential of realizing a new ground-breaking optical network framework. In this paper, we introduce our recent efforts that have been devoted to the research supported by the STRAUSS project on SDN/Openflow controlled optical networks. The unified SDN control plane is able to configure the optical nodes/devices and thus the optical network through the cooperation of Openflow agents with more flexibility and optimization, thanks to its global knowledge of network resource and centralized controllability. Furthermore, we are able to interconnect our network with other heterogeneous multidomain networks, while demonstrating the end-to-end flexible service provisioning over both nationwide and international testbeds with SDN orchestration via unified interface based on control orchestration protocol.

    Optics Communications   381   437 - 442  2016

     View Summary

    Traditional datacenters are typically deployed with highly clustered resources and built-in remote areas far away from users, requiring huge floor space and power consumption. The proposed metro-embedded datacenter architecture with distributed resources spreading across the metro area close to users could be a promising solution, which exhibits lower access latency and more flexibility for service orchestration. Based on metro-embedded datacenter, we propose the conception of "follow the user" with user access location aware dynamic hotspots adjustments. By enabling service hotspots adjustment according to user access frequency statistics, the quality of service can be significantly improved in terms of reduced latency. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate low-latency service provisioning based on the proposed principle. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Polybinary Shaping for Highly-Spectral-Efficient Super-Nyquist WDM QAM Signals

    Igarashi, K., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   34 ( 8 ) 1724 - 1731  2016

     View Summary

    In Super-Nyquist wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) systems, in which WDM channel spacing is smaller than a signal baudrate, there is a tradeoff relationship between the WDM crosstalk and inter-symbol interference due to the tight spectral shaping. For optimizing the tradeoff relationship, polybinary shaping with maximum likelihood sequence estimation is introduced. In this paper, we numerically and experimentally investigate the bit-error rate characteristics of the Super-Nyquist WDM quadrature amplitude modulated signals with polybinary shaping in order to clarify the relationship between the spectral efficiency and required signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These results indicate that the Super-Nyquist WDM technique based on polybinary shaping is effective to optimize the spectral efficiency for the target required SNR equivalent to the target transmission distance.

    Multicore erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (MCEDFAs) are essential components to achieve long-haul multicore fiber (MCF) transmission. An attractive technique for reducing the number of components and power consumption is the cladding-pumping scheme in MC-EDFAs in which all cores are simultaneously pumped using a single high-power multimode laser diode. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate long-haul MCF transmission using cladding-pumped seven-core EDFAs. We confirm that 73 x 128-Gbit/s Nyquist-pulse-shaped dual-polarization quadrature phase-shift keying signals are successfully transmitted over 2520-km seven-core fiber.

COP has been defined using YANG model language and can be transported using RESTconf, which is being incorporated by industry. COP has been defined in the scope of STRAUSS due to the need for an overarching control plane protocol for network orchestration. In this paper, several research projects describe how the COP could fit in their architecture and propose a use case for COP usage. The proposed COP use cases cover the following research projects: STRAUSS, IDEALIST, DISCUS, COMBO, INSPACE.

  • Ultra-long-haul high-capacity super-nyquist-WDM transmission experiment using multi-core fibers

    Igarashi, K., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I., Suzuki, M.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   33 ( 5 ) 1027 - 1036  2015

     View Summary

    This paper describes promising techniques for approaching the capacity-distance product over 1 Exabit/sxkm in the transoceanic-class optical fiber transmission. One is the Super-Nyquist wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technique based on poly-binary-pulse shaping with maximum likelihood sequence estimation, in which it is possible to multiplex optical signals with WDM spacing of less than the signal baudrate. Another technique is the space-division multiplexing technique based on multi-core fibers (MCFs) with multi-core Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (ED-FAs), in which the fiber capacity can be increased when the number of cores of MCF is increased. Finally, we present a demonstration of 140.7-Tbit/s, 7 326-km transmission of 201-channel 25-GHz-spaced Super-Nyquist-WDM 100-Gbit/s optical signals using seven-core fibers and full C-band seven-core EDFAs.

     View Summary

    A virtualization architecture is presented for deploying multitenant virtual networks on top of multi-technology optical networks. A multidomain network hypervisor (MNH) and a multidomain SDN orchestrator (MSO) are introduced with this purpose. The MNH provides an abstract view of each virtual network and gives control of it to each independent customer SDN controller. The MNH is able to provide virtual networks across heterogeneous control domains (i.e., generalized multiprotocol label switching and OpenFlow) and transport technologies (i.e., optical packet switching and elastic optical networks). The MSO is responsible for providing the necessary end-to-end connectivity. We have designed, implemented, and experimentally evaluated the MNH and MSO in an international testbed across Spain, UK, Germany, and Japan.

  • SDN orchestration of OpenFlow and GMPLS flexi-grid networks with a stateful hierarchical PCE [invited]

    Casellas, R., Munoz, R., Martinez, R., Vilalta, R., Liu, L., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I., Lopez, V., De Dios, O.G., Fernandez-Palacios, J.P.

    Journal of Optical Communications and Networking   7 ( 1 ) A106 - A117  2015

     View Summary

    New and emerging use cases, such as the interconnection of geographically remote data centers, are drawing attention to the need for provisioning end-to-end connectivity services spanning multiple and heterogeneous network domains. This heterogeneity is due not only to the data transmission and switching technology (the so-called data plane) but also to the deployed control plane, which may be used within each domain to automate the setup and recovery of such services, dynamically. The choice of a control plane is affected by factors such as availability, maturity, operator's preference, and the ability to satisfy a list of functional requirements. Given the current developments around OpenFlow and software-defined networking (SDN) along with the need to account for existing deployments based on GMPLS, the problem of heterogeneous control plane interworking needs to be solved. The retained solution must equally address the specific issues of multidomain networks, such as limited domain topology visibility, given the scalability and confidentiality constraints that characterize them. In this setting, we propose a functional and protocol architecture for such interworking, based on the key concepts of network abstraction and overarching control, implemented in terms of a hierarchical stateful path computation element (PCE), which provides the orchestration and coordination layer. In the proposed architecture, the PCEP and BGP-LS protocols are extended to support OpenFlow addresses and datapath identifiers, unifying both GMPLS and OpenFlow domains. The solution is deployed in an experimental testbed and validated. Although the main scope of the approach is the interworking of OpenFlow and GMPLS, the same approach can be directly applied to a wide range of multidomain scenarios, with either homogeneous or heterogeneous control technologies.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   33 ( 5 ) 1054 - 1062  2015

     View Summary

    Optical transport networks provide transport, multiplexing, routing, management, supervision, and survivability of optical channels. Within a flexible dense wavelength division multiplexing grid, the optical spectrum can be allocated in multiples of a width granularity, depending on the client signal rate and modulation format. A control plane (CP) can be used for efficient and dynamic provisioning and recovery of flexi-grid connections. Two main CP architectures coexist, with common functions like addressing, automatic topology discovery, network abstraction, path computation, and connection provisioning: a distributed generalized multiprotocol label switching CP (with optional path computation element, PCE path computation and instantiation/modification) and a CP based on software-defined networking, with a logically centralized controller and an open protocol, such as the OpenFlow protocol. Both architectures have their own strengths and weaknesses, and are being extended to address the new requirements associated with the aforementioned emerging optical technologies, such as flexible spectrum allocation, efficient corouted connection setup, and configuration of related optical parameters. However, new use cases such as remote data center interconnection highlight the need for multidomain service provisioning, and heterogeneous CP interworking, potentially requiring an overarching control. Different alternatives, with varying degrees of integration and flexibility, are available: straightforward approaches characterized by the adaptation of one control model to the other or more advanced interworking requiring the definition of common models (e.g., a subset of attributes for network elements) and of coordination and orchestration functions. This paper discusses the main relevant interworking architectures and presents a selected set of use cases and proof-of-concepts.

  • Dynamic openflow-based lightpath restoration in elastic optical networks on the GENI testbed

    Liu, L., Peng, W.-R., Casellas, R., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I., Martinez, R., Munoz, R., Suzuki, M., Yoo, S.J.B.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   33 ( 8 ) 1531 - 1539  2015

     View Summary

    Elastic optical networking (EON), with its flexible use of the optical spectrum, is a promising solution for future metro/core optical networking. For the deployment of EON in a real-operational scenario, the dynamic lightpath restoration, driven by an intelligent control plane, is a necessary network function. Dynamic restoration can restore network services automatically and, thus, greatly reduce the operational cost, compared with traditional manual or semistatic lightpath restoration strategies enabled by network operators via a network management system. To this end, in this paper, we present an OpenFlow-enabled dynamic lightpath restoration in elastic optical networks, detailing the restoration framework and algorithm, the failure isolation mechanism, and the proposed OpenFlow protocol extensions. We quantitatively present the restoration performance via control plane experimental tests on the Global Environment for Network Innovations testbed.

  • Dynamic openflow-controlled optical packet switching network

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   33 ( 8 ) 1500 - 1507  2015

     View Summary

    This paper presents and experimentally demonstrates the generalized architecture of Openflow-controlled optical packet switching (OPS) network. Openflow control is enabled by introducing the Openflow/OPS agent into the OPS network, which realizes the Openflow protocol translation and message exchange between the Openflow control plane and the underlying OPS nodes. With software-defined networking (SDN) and Openflow technique, the complex control functions of the conventional OPS network can be offloaded into a centralized and flexible control plane, while promoted control and operations can be provided due to centralized coordination of network resources. Furthermore, a contention-aware routing/rerouting strategy as well as a fast network adjustment mechanism is proposed and demonstrated for the first time as advanced Openflow control to route traffic and handle the network dynamics. With centralized SDN/Openflow control, the OPS network has the potential to have better resource utilization and enhanced network resilience at lower cost and less node complexity. Our work will accelerate the development of both OPS and SDN evolution.

     View Summary

    Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (O-OFDM), which transmits high speed optical signals using multiple spectrally overlapped lower-speed subcarriers, is a promising candidate for supporting future elastic optical networks. In contrast to previous works which focus on Coherent Optical OFDM (CO-OFDM), in this paper, we consider the direct-detection optical OFDM (DDO-OFDM) as the transport technique, which leads to simpler hardware and software realizations, potentially offering a low-cost solution for elastic optical networks, especially in metro networks, and short or medium distance core networks. Based on this network scenario, we design and deploy a software-defined networking (SDN) control plane enabled by extending OpenFlow, detailing the network architecture, the routing and spectrum assignment algorithm, OpenFlow protocol extensions and the experimental validation. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that an OpenFlow-based control plane is reported and its performance is quantitatively measured in an elastic optical network with DDO-OFDM transmission.

     View Summary

    We show super-Nyquist-WDM transmission technique, where optical signals with duobinary-pulse shaping can be wavelength-multiplexed with frequency spacing of below baudrate. Duobinary-pulse shaping can reduce the signal bandwidth to be a half of baudrate while controlling inter-symbol interference can be compensated by the maximum likelihood sequence estimation in a receiver. First, we experimentally evaluate crosstalk characteristics as a function of channel spacing between the dual-channel DP-QPSK signals with duobinary-pulse shaping. As a result, the crosstalk penalty can be almost negligible as far as the ratio of baudrate to frequency spacing is maintained to be less than 1.20. Next, we demonstrate 140.7-Tbit/s, 7,326-km transmission of 7 x 201-channel 25-GHz-spaced super-Nyquist-WDM 100-Gbit/s optical signals using seven-core fiber and full C-band seven-core EDFAs.

  • Performance evaluation of selective mode conversion based on phase plates for a 10-mode fiber

    Igarashi, K., Souma, D., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Optics Express   22 ( 17 ) 20881 - 20893  2014

     View Summary

    We numerically and experimentally evaluate the performance of higher-order mode conversion based on phase plates for 10-mode fibers (10MFs). The phase plates have the phase jump of pi between multiple planes, which match the phase patterns of linearly polarized (LP) modes of 10MF. First, we numerically investigate the effects of the fabrication errors such as the phase-difference error and the slope in the phase jump of the phase plate. The simulation results for the mode conversion to LP11 indicate that such errors make the spatial pattern of the converted beam asymmetric. In order to maintain the symmetric pattern, the phase-difference error is required to be less than +/- 2%, and the ratio of the slope width to the input beam waist should be suppressed to be less than 0.05. Next, we calculate the coupling power efficiencies of the excitation of LP modes in 10MF when the converted beams after the phase plate are launched into 10MF using a lens. As the calculation results, highly accurate adjustment of the input beam waist is required to suppress the crosstalk due to coupling of undesirable LP modes by less than -20 dB. For mode excitation of LP11 or LP12, crosstalk of more than -20 dB is not avoidable even if the input beam waist is carefully adjusted. In contrast, the crosstalk for the mode excitation of LP21 or LP31 is easily suppressed to be less than -20 dB without careful adjustment of the input beam waist. These results suggest that phase plates are not applicable to mode conversion to LP11 and LP12 in 10MF while they are suitable for conversion to LP02, LP21 and LP31. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate conversion from LP01 to LP21 and LP31 modes in 10MF using phase plates. We obtain nearly ideal LP21 and LP31 modes with the small crosstalk due to the coupling of the other undesirable LP modes. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

    JOURNAL OF OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKING   5 ( 10 ) A66 - A75  2013.10

     View Summary

    OpenFlow, which allows operators to control the network using software running on a network operating system within an external controller, has recently been proposed and experimentally validated as a promising intelligent control plane technique. To mitigate the potential scalability issue of an OpenFlow-based centralized control plane and to leverage the mature, well-defined, and feature-complete path computation element (PCE) communication protocol, the complex path computation function required in optical networks can be formally decoupled from the OpenFlow controller so the controller can off-load the task to one or more dedicated PCEs. In addition to the control plane intelligence, future optical networks also feature data plane intelligence such as the introduction of flexible transmitters and receivers, which can dynamically change the modulation format and transmission rate of the optical signal without hardware modifications. In this paper, for the first time, we successfully demonstrate a dynamic transparent wavelength-switched optical network employing flexible transmitters and receivers controlled by an OpenFlow-stateless PCE integrated control plane. Our designed flexible transmitter is implemented by a cascade of a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a dual-parallel MZM. By adjusting the electrical binary drive signals, the flexible transmitter is able to flexibly switch the symbol rate and the modulation format, including binary phase shift keying, quadrature phase shift keying, 8-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (8QAM), and 16QAM. The flexible receiver is able to automatically detect different modulation formats and symbol rates and measure the bit-error rate. All the network elements, including optical switching nodes and flexible transmitters and receivers, are extended with OpenFlow interfaces, which can be intelligently controlled by the OpenFlow-stateless PCE integrated control plane with significant protocol extensions. On an actual network testbed with real hardware, we successfully validate dynamic and seamless interworking operations between the OpenFlow controller, a stateless PCE, and all the data plane hardware. The overall feasibility and efficiency of the proposed solutions are verified, and dynamic end-to-end path provisioning and lightpath restoration in such a new network scenario are quantitatively evaluated. We also tested the scalability of the proposed control plane; the experiment results indicated that dynamic path provisioning and restoration can be achieved within hundreds of milliseconds by using the proposed approach, and the overall architecture scales well with a batch of requests.

  • Simple Carrier Recovery Approach for RF-Pilot-Assisted PDM-CO-OFDM Systems

    Wei-Ren Peng, Takehiro Tsuritani, Itsuro Morita

    JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY   31 ( 15 ) 2555 - 2564  2013.08

     View Summary

    For RF-pilot-assisted PDM-CO-OFDM systems, we propose and demonstrate a carrier recovery method applying a simple moving average filter (MAF) to extract the central RF-pilot for phase noise compensation. Because only two additions per output sample would be required to implement such a MAF, its computational complexity is rather simple compared to any other direct-form finite impulse response (FIR) filter. To handle its weak side-lobe attenuation, which would cause the spectrally nearby OFDM signal to interfere with the extracted pilot signal, we further propose using multiple MAFs in cascade to enhance the side-lobe attenuation. We evaluate the performance of a 16-QAM and 40-Gbps PDM-CO-OFDM signal, in terms of the bandwidth tolerance, optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) tolerance, nonlinear tolerance, linewidth tolerance, and residual carrier frequency offset (RFO) tolerance, with different filters including the simple MAF, cascaded MAFs, and the previously-demonstrated multi-stage decimation and interpolation filter (MDIF). We've found that 1) all the filters exhibit similar performance to the ideal brick-wall filter in terms of noise and nonlinear tolerances, 2) the MAF1 exhibits the worse tolerances against linewidth and RFO, and 3) the MDIF has to be carefully designed to enhance its tolerances against both the linewidth and RFO.

    In this paper, we verify the effectiveness of the last-stage long memory filter (LMF) in mitigating the long-memory response (LMR) of hardware, i.e. the transmitter and receiver. Based on the experimental results, we draw the following conclusions: 1) LMF can effectively mitigate the LMR impact, such as transmitter reflections, and its efficiency is more significant for high-order QAM signals. 2) Using LMF, a partially-correlated pattern exhibits similar performance to that of an uncorrelated pattern both in back-to-back and after 320-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) transmission. Moreover, a simple solution to the computational complexity of LMF, effective-tap (ET) LMF, is proposed and demonstrated. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

  • Per-symbol-based digital back-propagation approach for PDM-CO-OFDM transmission systems

    Peng, W.-R., Takahashi, H., Morita, I., Tsuritani, T.

    Optics Express   21 ( 2 ) 1547 - 1554  2013

     View Summary

    For polarization-division-multiplexing coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM-CO-OFDM) systems, we propose a per-symbol-based digital back-propagation (DBP) approach which, after cyclic prefix removal, conducts DBP for each OFDM symbol. Compared with previous DBP, this new proposal avoids the use of inefficient overlap-and-add operation and saves one fast Fourier transform (FFT) module, therefore simplifying the hardware implementation. Transmitting a 16-QAM, 42.8-Gb/s PDM-CO-OFDM signal over 960-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF), we compare the previous and the proposed DBP approaches with different receiver's sampling rates and different step lengths in each DBP iteration, and found that the proposed DBP can achieve a similar performance as that of the previous DBP while enjoying a simpler implementation. We have also specifically introduced a small self-phase modulation (SPM) model for DBP and demonstrated its feasibility with the same experimental setup. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

  • Interdomain wavelength path control for translucent wavelength switched optical networks: From rationales to experiments

    Liu, L., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I., Casellas, R., Martinez, R., Muñoz, R., Tsurusawa, M.

    IEEE Communications Magazine   51 ( 8 ) 136 - 147  2013

     View Summary

    A translucent wavelength switched optical network (WSON), with sparse 3R regenerators to guarantee the signal quality of an optical connection, is a promising paradigm for a metro/core network. This is because a translucent WSON can achieve performance comparable to that of an all-electronic switching (i.e., opaque) network with far lower network cost and a great reduction in power consumption. Because of its advantages, many recent research and standardization efforts have focused on translucent WSONs. However, most of them study the intradomain case, and issues related to multidomain translucent WSONs are largely open at present. In light of this, in this article, we present two possible strategies to improve interdomain path computation and lightpath establishment in a multidomain translucent WSON. Both approaches are experimentally demonstrated and quantitatively evaluated. Our aim is to provide feasible and efficient solutions for supporting a multidomain translucent WSON, as well as to obtain valuable insight into the proposed strategies through experiments, which will be beneficial for the potential industrial deployment of translucent optical networks.

  • Transmission of high-baud PDM-64QAM signals

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   31 ( 13 ) 2146 - 2162  2013

     View Summary

    In this paper we demonstrate high-baud generation and transmission of PDM-64QAM signals. The 64QAM signal is generated using one single in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) modulator driven with eight-level signals synthesized by all binary electrical inputs. With hard-decision forward error correction (HD-FEC), we first demonstrate 11.2-GBd and 22.4-GBd PDM-64QAM transmissions over 320-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF). Then we specifically introduce a long memory filter (LMF) and prove its effectiveness in reflection compensation both theoretically and experimentally. With the aid of soft-decision FEC (SD-FEC), optical pre-shaping, and LMF, we transmit a 41.4-GBd PDM-64QAM signal over 1200-km SSMF. Finally, using per-channel 41.6-GBd PDM-64QAM with SD-FEC, we successfully demonstrate 50-GHz-spaced, 8 499-Gb/s transmission over 720-km SSMF. This is the first demonstration of 400-Gb/s/ch WDM transmission on the 50-GHz ITU grid that uses a per-channel single-carrier scheme.

The crosstalk (XT) from all of the other 6 cores of a MC-EDFA and a 55-km length MCF are about -46.5 dB and -45.6 dB at center core, respectively. The core-to-core rotation approach at every amplified span is used to average the XT of all cores. The averaged optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) after 6,160-km transmission is 15.6 dB with 0.1 nm resolution bandwidth. The Q-factor of all 40 channels surpasses the threshold of the forward-error-correction of 6.4 dB with 1 dB margin after 6,160 km. The total net capacity is 28.8 Tbit/s per fiber and achieved capacity-distance product is 177 Pbit/s·km per fiber.

    Liu, L., Tsuritani, T., Casellas, R., Morita, I., Martínez, R., Muñoz, R.

    Optical Switching and Networking   10 ( 1 ) 16 - 31  2013

     View Summary

    The control plane techniques based on the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) and Path Computation Element (PCE) architectures are promising candidates for potential industrial deployment in Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON), because they can greatly reduce operational expenses and improve the network intelligence. Moreover, link failures have a critical effect on WSON, since a single failure may result in the loss of a huge amount of data. In light of this, in this paper, we detail the design and implementation of a GMPLS control plane, with PCE-based, impairment-aware, full restoration capability for translucent WSON. We investigate the enabling techniques for such a PCE/GMPLS control plane by surveying a series of solutions, and, based on these enabling techniques, we present an experimental demonstration of service recovery for uncompressed video stream in a GMPLS controlled WSON with PCE-based full lightpath restoration. We also quantitatively evaluate the performance of the PCE-based full restoration, and compare it with the PCE-based pre-planned restoration and the PCE-based pre-computed dynamic restoration in terms of signaling latency and restorability. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that the PCE-based full restoration is experimentally investigated on an actual GMPLS controlled WSON testbed, which is beneficial for verifying the overall feasibility and efficiency of the proposed solutions, obtaining valuable insights for its future deployment in a real operational scenario, and providing active contribution in support of the on-going Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standardization activities. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

     View Summary

    ITU-T Recommendation G.694.1 [1] defines normative DWDM frequency grids, each being a reference set of values that correspond to allowed nominal central frequencies, obtained using a fixed channel spacing (e.g., 12.5 GHz, 25 GHz, 50 GHz or 100 GHz). This rigid, grid-based approach does not seem well adapted for data rates beyond 100 Gb/s, is particularly inefficient when a whole wavelength is assigned to a lower rate optical path, and is not flexible enough for multi-rate systems [2]. Consequently, the next generation of optical networks will require a flexible, highly efficient and adaptive management of the optical spectrum, along with advanced optical modulation schemes that efficiently use allocated spectrum slots, and recent progress on optical network technology justifies research on both new optical transmission systems as well as the applicability of control and management frameworks to such networks.We design and deploy a GMPLS control plane for flexible optical networks with coherent optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (O-OFDM) transmission; we detail its functional architecture, which combines a centralized entity that performs path routing and modulation assignment, with a distributed spectrum allocation. The centralized entity (i.e., a path computation element) uses pre-configured static path characterizations, based on exhaustive OFDM transmission simulations, when performing dynamic path computation in line with GMPLS constrained shortest path mechanisms. The distributed spectrum allocation assigns frequency ranges (slots) to connection requests, by using dynamic signaling procedures and applying slot assignment policies. We summarize the control plane protocol extensions involved in the main functional aspects: routing and topology dissemination, path computation, signaling and resource reservation.We experimentally validate and evaluate the integrated centralized PCE and GMPLS control plane in a control plane testbed, obtaining key performance indicators such as path setup latency and blocking probability for different frequency slot assignment policies.

  • Demonstration of BER-adaptive WSON employing flexible transmitter/receiver with an extended OpenFlow-based control plane

    Choi, H.Y., Liu, L., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    IEEE Photonics Technology Letters   25 ( 2 ) 119 - 121  2013

     View Summary

    A bit-error rate (BER)-adaptive wavelength-switched optical network (WSON) employing the multiformat and multirate transmitter/receiver is experimentally demonstrated. The flexible transmitter is capable of generating binary phase-shift-keying, quadrature phase-shift-keying, eight-ary quadrature amplitude modulation, 8QAM, and 16QAM, as well as changing the symbol rate. On the other hand, the flexible receiver based on a coherent detection scheme is utilized not only to detect the optical signal with any modulation format/rate, but also to send the BER information to an OpenFlow controller via extended OpenFlow protocols. Since the measured BER is a reliable barometer of the optical path conditions, an extended OpenFlow-based control plane with the OpenFlow controller intelligently determines and assigns either appropriate modulation format/rate or a backup path in WSON in accordance with BER information.

  • Control and management of flexi-grid optical networks with an integrated stateful path computation element and OpenFlow controller [invited]

    Casellas, R., Martinez, R., Munoz, R., Vilalta, R., Liu, L., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Journal of Optical Communications and Networking   5 ( 10 ) A57 - A65  2013

     View Summary

    A path computation element (PCE) is briefly defined as a control plane functional component (physical or logical) that is able to perform constrained path computation on a graph representing (a subset of) a network. A stateful PCE is a PCE that is able to consider the set of active connections, and its development is motivated by the fact that such knowledge enables the deployment of improved, more efficient algorithms. Additionally, a stateful PCE is said to be active if it is also able to affect (modify or suggest the modification of) the state of such connections. A stateful active PCE is thus able not only to use the knowledge of the active connections as available information during the computation, but also to reroute existing ones, resulting in a more efficient use of resources and the ability to dynamically arrange and reoptimize the network. An OpenFlow controller is a logically centralized entity that implements a control plane and configures the forwarding plane of the underlying network devices using the OpenFlow protocol. From a control plane perspective, an OpenFlow controller and the aforementioned stateful PCE have several functions in common, for example, in what concerns network topology or connection management. That said, both entities also complement each other, since a PCE is responsible mainly for path computation accessible via an open, standard, and flexible protocol, and the OpenFlow controller assumes the task of the actual data plane forwarding provisioning. In other words, the stateful PCE becomes active by virtue of relying on an OpenFlow controller for the establishment of connections. In this framework, the integration of both entities presents an opportunity allowing a return on investment, reduction of operational expenses, and reduction of time to market, resulting in an efficient approach to operate transport networks. In this paper, we detail the design, implementation, and experimental evaluation of a centralized control plane based on a stateful PCE, acting as an OpenFlow controller, targeting the control and management of optical networks. We detail the extensions to both the OpenFlow and the PCE communication protocol (PCEP), addressing the requirements of elastic optical networks as well as the system performance, obtained when deployed in a laboratory trial.

    2012 16th International Conference on Optical Networking Design and Modelling, ONDM 2012    2012

     View Summary

    In the current IP/optical multi-layer networks, the control approaches for IP and optical domains are separated, which is inconvenient for the end-to-end service provisioning. Therefore, the investigation of a unified control plane for multi-layer networks is a very important issue for network carriers, since it can simplify the network manageability, improve the network agility and reduce the operational expenditure (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX). The OpenFlow protocol, which has been proposed recently, provides a potential solution to address such an issue. On the other hand, the multi-layer optical burst switching (OBS) /wavelength switched optical network (WSON) has been proposed as one of the promising paradigms for future optical Internet, and the respective control plane for OBS and WSON layers under an overlay model has been intensively investigated in our previous works. In light of this, in this paper, we experimentally present an OpenFlow-based unified control plane for OBS/WSON multi-layer optical switched networks. The protocol extensions and design details of the OpenFlow-controlled OBS/WSON are discussed. By using two different signaling approaches (with and without confirmation mechanism during the lightpath provisioning period), we successfully demonstrate the overall feasibility of a unified control plane for OBS/WSON networks, and the performance of two signaling solutions is quantitatively evaluated in terms of end-to-end signaling latency and packet loss rate. © 2012 IEEE.

    2012 IEEE GLOBECOM WORKSHOPS (GC WKSHPS)     352 - 357  2012

     View Summary

    Elastic Optical Networks (EON), which are able to allocate an appropriate optical spectrum range and modulation format to an optical path according to the client (e.g. IP) traffic demand and path attributes (e.g., physical length or optical impairments), have been proposed to more efficiently utilize network spectrum resources. A control plane is a key enabling technique for dynamic and intelligent end-to-end path provisioning and recovery in such networks. In this paper, we design and deploy two different control planes for EON. One is based on the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) / Path Computation Element (PCE) architecture and protocols, and the other one is based on a centralized model extending OpenFlow. We detail the protocol extensions involved in the main functional aspects, and we experimentally validate both control plane approaches in a control plane testbed and compare them in terms of path provisioning latency.

    Control plane techniques are very important for optical networks since they can enable dynamic lightpath provisioning and restoration, improve the network intelligence, and greatly reduce the processing latency and operational expenditure. In recent years, there have been great progresses in this area, ranged from the traditional generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) to a path computation element (PCE)/GMPLS-based architecture. The latest studies have focused on an OpenFlow-based control plane for optical networks, which is also known as software-defined networking. In this paper, we review our recent research activities related to the GMPLS-based, PCE/GMPLS-based, and OpenFlow-based control planes for a translucent wavelength switched optical network (WSON). We present enabling techniques for each control plane, and we summarize their advantages and disadvantages.

  • Experimental Demonstration of OpenFlow/GMPLS Interworking Control Plane for IP/DWDM Multi-Layer Optical Networks

    Lei Liu, Takehiro Tsuritani, Itsuro Morita

    2012 14TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON TRANSPARENT OPTICAL NETWORKS (ICTON 2012)    2012

     View Summary

    A unified control plane (UCP) for IP/Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) multi-layer optical networks is a very important issue for network carriers. Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS), with a decade of development and standardization work, is a mature control plane technique for optical transport networks. But GMPLS-based UCP for IP/DWDM multi-layer networks is overly complex for deployment in a real operational scenario. On the other hand, OpenFlow has been verified as a promising solution for a UCP, but it is not mature enough to control optical switching nodes so far. Therefore, as an intermediate step towards a fully OpenFlow-based UCP, a logical choice at present is to introduce an OpenFlow/GMPLS interworking control plane which is able to use GMPLS to control the optical layer and use OpenFlow to dynamically coordinate between IP and optical layers. In light of this, in this paper, we experimentally present three interworking solutions (parallel, overlay and integrated) between OpenFlow and GMPLS for intelligent wavelength path control in IP/DWDM multi-layer optical networks. The overall feasibility of these solutions is assessed and their performance is quantitatively evaluated and compared on an actual network testbed.

    The lightpaths within a wavelength switched optical network (WSON) are usually bi-directional, with a same route and a same wavelength which are allocated for both directions from the viewpoint of optical network operation. On the other hand, the introduction of generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) as a network control plane is expected to bring more intelligence and to provision the end-to-end lightpath in a cost-efficient manner. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate and evaluate dynamic provisioning of bidirectional lightpaths in GMPLS controlled optical networks, considering the wavelength continuity constraint and the physical impairment constraint on both directions.

    Hidenori Takahashi, Wei-ren Peng, Yu Kawaguchi, Takehiro Tsuritani, Itsuro Morita

    2012 International Conference on Photonics in Switching (PS)    2012

     View Summary

    Optical OFDM is a promising technology for highly spectrally efficient (SE) wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) system. Furthermore, the bit-rate 400 Gbit/s per WDM channel with SE of 8 bit/s/Hz is expected to be adopted for the next generation WDM system. For the application, optical OFDM is one of promising candidates because of the scalability for higher SE and higher bit-rate using multi-band OFDM technique. In this paper, the SE of multi-band OFDM is explained first, and WDM transmission experiments of multi-band OFDM signals with SE of over 8bit/s/Hz are introduced.

  • Optical transmitter for 320-Gb/s PDM-RZ-16QAM generation using electrical binary drive signals

    Choi, H.Y., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Optics Express   20 ( 27 ) 28772 - 28778  2012

     View Summary

    We propose a new 16QAM optical transmitter based on a combination of a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM) with electrical binary drive signals. For 16QAM generation, two arms of DD-MZM are independently driven by two different binary data, and consequently, the DD-MZM produces an offset square 4QAM of the 16QAM constellation. This 4QAM signal is then switched over other quadrants through a typical QPSK modulation scheme by the following DP-MZM, and resulting in 16QAM. By using the proposed transmitter together with a digital coherent receiver, we successfully demonstrate the 224-Gb/s and 320-Gb/s PDM-RZ-16QAM systems. Their OSNR sensitivities at 3.8x10(-3) BER are observed to be 19.8 dB and 23 dB, respectively. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America

  • Generation and detection of 240-Gb/s PDM-64QAM using optical binary synthesizing approach and phase-folded decision-directed equalization

    Choi, H.Y., Tsuritani, T., Takahashi, H., Peng, W.-R., Morita, I.

    Optics Express   20 ( 25 ) 27933 - 27940  2012

     View Summary

    We present new generation and detection methods for high symbol-rate 64-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (64QAM). The 64QAM signal is created by tandem in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) modulators driven by electrical binary signals. The first I/Q modulator, which has four drive arms (i.e. a dual-drive I/Q modulator), yields 16QAM with an offset at the 1st quadrant of the complex plane. Subsequently, the second modulator switches this 16QAM signal over four quadrants via the typical quadrature phase-shift-keying (QPSK) modulation scheme, hence the desired 64QAM is generated. To mitigate the impacts of transmitter imperfections, we also propose a phase-folded decision-directed (PF-DD) linear equalizer at the receiver. Using these new techniques, we experimentally demonstrate the 120- and 240-Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexed (PDM) return-to-zero (RZ) 64QAM systems. The required optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) for a bit-error rate (BER) of 2.4x10(-2) is measured at 20.2 or 23 dB, respectively, which is similar to 3.5 dB off the theoretical limit.

     View Summary

    Proposed is a new method to synthesise the 8-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (8QAM) signal and demonstrate the 112Gbit/s polarisation-multiplexed 8QAM system. The proposed transmitter consists of a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and phase modulators in tandem. The DD-MZM is utilised to manipulate the amplitude and phase of the optical signal by adjusting its chirp. The optical signal-to-noise ratio sensitivity of the 112Gbit/s polarisation-multiplexed 8QAM signal to achieve the bit error rate of 10 -3 is measured to be 18.8dB (in 0.1nm resolution bandwidth). © 2012 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.

  • GMPLS/PCE control of flexi-grid DWDM optical networks using CO-OFDM transmission [Invited]

    Casellas, R., Muñoz, R., Fàbrega, J.M., Moreolo, M.S., Martínez, R., Liu, L., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Journal of Optical Communications and Networking   4 ( 11 ) B1 - B10  2012

     View Summary

    Current optical transport networks use optical channel carriers (wavelengths) that are defined and constrained by a fixed ITU-T dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) grid. Such a grid is not adapted to high data rates (beyond 100 Gb/s) and is inefficient when a wavelength is assigned to a low-rate optical signal. Consequently, the ITU-T is updating the set of DWDM reference frequencies with the inclusion of a smaller channel spacing (e. g., 6.25 GHz) while allowing the allocation of frequency slots, that is, variable-sized frequency ranges composed of a number of slices. In this paper, we propose the design, implementation, and experimental validation of a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching/path computation element (GMPLS/PCE) control plane for such flexible optical networks, using optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing transmission technology, given its unique flexibility, bit-rate/bandwidth scalability, and subwavelength granularity. The control plane uses a distance-adaptive and PCE-based routing and modulation assignment, combined with distributed frequency slot (spectrum) selection. A comparative analysis of path computation algorithms is carried out, highlighting the benefits of extending the path computation function with the knowledge of the status of the slices and the spectral efficiency of the modulation formats.

  • Nonlinear tolerance of 53.5-Gb/s differential 6-ary PSK surrounded by 10.7-Gb/s NRZ-OOK neighbors in SMF and DSF transmission links

    Choi, H.Y., Morita, I.

    IEEE Photonics Technology Letters   24 ( 10 ) 806 - 808  2012

     View Summary

    We demonstrate an optical transmission system based on a 53.5-Gb/s differential 6-ary phase-shift-keying (D6PSK) signal with copropagating 10.7-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) on-off keying (OOK) channels over either 320-km-long single-mode fiber link with in-line dispersion compensation or 320-km-long dispersion-shifted fiber link, and compare its performances with that of a classical polarization-division-multiplexing differential quadrature phase-shift-keying (DQPSK)-based system. The results show that the nonlinear tolerance of the D6PSK signal outperforms that of the PDM-DQPSK signal in terms of the cross-phase modulation effect induced by the 10.7-Gb/s NRZ-OOK neighboring channels.

  • Transmission of high-speed (&gt; 100 Gb/s) direct-detection optical OFDM superchannel

    Peng, W.-R., Morita, I., Takahashi, H., Tsuritani, T.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   30 ( 12 ) 2025 - 2034  2012

     View Summary

    In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the direct-detection optical orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing superchannel (DDO-OFDM-S) and optical multiband receiving method (OMBR) to support >100-Gb/s data rate and a longer distance for direct-detection systems. For the new OMBR, we discuss the optimum carrier-to-sideband power ratio (CSPR) both in the cases of back-to-back and after transmission, and derive the analytical form for CSPR which is verified with numerical results. An overhead-efficient training method for in-phase/quadrature-phase imbalance estimation is also introduced in order to obtain a better performance while maintaining the high throughput of the system. With experimental setups, we evaluate the two systems with 1) 16-QAM, 214-Gb/s (190 Gb/s without overhead) and 2) 4-QAM, 117-Gb/s (100 Gb/s without overhead) systems. The new proposals enable the record data rate per wavelength (214 Gb/s) and record distance of 720-km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) for the >100-Gb/s DDO-OFDM systems, and achieve the record optical signal-to-noise ratio sensitivity of 21.2 dB and record distance of 1200-km SSMF (similar to 1 dB penalty) for the 100-Gb/s class DDO-OFDM systems.

  • BER-adaptive flexible-format transmitter for elastic optical networks

    Choi, H.Y., Tsuritani, T., Morita, I.

    Optics Express   20 ( 17 ) 18652 - 18658  2012

     View Summary

    We propose a new optical transmitter which is capable of changing flexibly the modulation format of the optical signal. By using this transmitter, we can handle and assign various modulation formats: binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 8-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (8QAM), and 16QAM. The proposed transmitter is based on a combination of a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and a dual-parallel MZM (DP-MZM) with electrical binary drive signals. DD-MZM is a key element to produce the 8QAM and 16QAM formats where each arm of DD-MZM is driven by independent binary data. This is because we can modulate the amplitude and phase of the optical signal by using a frequency chirp of the modulator when we adjust properly the amplitudes of the electrical drive signals. In addition, we show an algorithm by which the proposed transmitter can intelligently select the modulation format in accordance with the signal quality. (C)2012 Optical Society of America

    Optics InfoBase Conference Papers   8309  2011

     View Summary

    We demonstrate an optical transmission system based on a 6-level PSK modulation format and differential detection with a partial symbol delay. The 6-level PSK signal is simply generated by using a chirp-free Mach-Zehnder modulator followed by a phase modulator. In order to convert the phase information of the 6-level PSK signal into the intensity, we utilize a pair of two Mach-Zehnder delay-line interferometers with having a differential delay less than the symbol duration of the signal unlike a conventional differential detection scheme. We evaluate the performances of the differential 6-level PSK signal and compare them with that of a conventional DQPSK signal. In addition, the transmission performance of the 21.4-Gb/s 6-level PSK signal is experimentally verified in a 240-km long dispersionmanaged fiber link. Furthermore, additional simulation results show that the tolerance to optical filtering and chromatic dispersion of the 107-Gb/s differential 6-level PSK signal is improved significantly by adopting the partial demodulation scheme. © 2011 SPIE-OSA-IEEE.

    The lightpaths within a wavelength switched optical network (WSON) are usually bi-directional, with a same route and a same wavelength which are allocated for both directions from the viewpoint of optical network operation. On the other hand, the introduction of generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) as a network control plane is expected to bring more intelligence and to provision the end-to-end lightpath in a cost-efficient manner. In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate and evaluate dynamic provisioning of bidirectional lightpaths in GMPLS controlled optical networks, considering the wavelength continuity constraint and the physical impairment constraint on both directions.

     View Summary

    The required bit resolution of digital-analog-converter (DAC) for optical OFDM was evaluated through simulation and experiment. We found that the signal degradation caused by quantization depends on the number of subcarriers theoretically, but the other noise generated in experiment suppresses the dependency. Additionally, signal degradation caused by quantization is independent of subcarrier modulation, and the performance improvement saturates with increasing bit resolution. With the criteria for the BER of 1 x 10(-3), the required DAC resolution by simulation with ideal analog-digital-converter at receiver is 3 bits for QPSK, 4 bits for 8-QAM and 5 bits for 16-QAM and 32-QAM. From the experimental result, the required bit resolution is increased as 6 bits for 32-QAM.

But the utilization of the OpenFlow protocol to control a wavelength switched optical network has not been investigated. In this paper, for the first time, we experimentally present a proof-of-concept demonstration of OpenFlow-based wavelength path control for lightpath provisioning in transparent optical networks. We propose two different approaches (sequential and delayed approaches) for lightpath setup and two different approaches (active and passive approaches) for lightpath release by using the OpenFlow protocol. The overall feasibility of these approaches is experimentally validated and the network performances are quantitatively evaluated. More importantly, all the proposed methodologies are demonstrated and evaluated on a real transparent optical network testbed with both OpenFlow-based control plane and data plane, which allows their feasibility and effectiveness to be verified, and valuable insights of the proposed solutions to be obtained for deploying into real OpenFlow controlled optical networks.

    IEICE Transactions on Communications   E94-B ( 7 ) 1831 - 1844  2011

     View Summary

    A translucent wavelength switched optical network (WSON) is a cost-efficient infrastructure between opaque networks and transparent optical networks, which aims at seeking a graceful balance between network cost and service provisioning performance. In this paper, we experimentally present a resilient translucent WSON with the control of an enhanced path computation element (PCE) and extended generalized multi-protocol label switching (GMPLS) controllers. An adaptive routing and wavelength assignment scheme with the consideration of accumulated physical impairments, wavelength availabilities and regenerator allocation is experimentally demonstrated and evaluated for dynamic provisioning of lightpaths. By using two different network scenarios, we experimentally verify the feasibility of the proposed solutions in support of translucent WSON, and quantitatively evaluate the path computation latency, network blocking probability and service disruption time during end-to-end light-path restoration. We also deeply analyze the experimental results and discuss the synchronization between the PCE and the network status. To the best of our knowledge, the most significant progress and contribution of this paper is that, for the first time, all the proposed methodologies in support of PCE/GMPLS controlled translucent WSON, including protocol extensions and related algorithms, are implemented in a network testbed and experimentally evaluated in detail, which allows verifying their feasibility and effectiveness when being potentially deployed into real translucent WSON.

    We present a lab-trial of the designed and implemented path computation architecture for multi-domain translucent wavelength switched optical networks (WSON), using hierarchical Path Computation Elements (H-PCE). The approach is based on the dynamic aggregation of the domain topologies, represented as a virtual link meshes at a higher level, in order to perform dynamic domain sequence selection. We detail the extended path computation procedures, involving both domain selections considering inter domain links and segment expansions which are impairment-aware, along with the proposed control plane protocol extensions. We validate the approach with the overall performance of the end to end path computation latency, highlighting the benefits of parallelization. (C) 2011 Optical Society of America

    IEEE PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY LETTERS   22 ( 7 ) 468 - 470  2010.04

     View Summary

    We propose a low-overhead method of polarization-multiplexed direct detection optical orthogonal frequency-division-multiplexing transmission that requires no digital multiple-input and multiple-output processing at the receiver. Optical filtering of carrier components allows a simple polarization separation. Using 16-quadrature amplitude modulation and only 31-GHz bandwidth, 100-Gb/s transmission over 80 km of standard single-mode fiber is successfully demonstrated. The crosstalk penalty was only 1.2 dB. We also investigated the laser frequency offset tolerance for the proposed 100-Gb/s transmission method.

    Transmitter and receiver IQ imbalance causes image interference that degrades performance in high capacity and high spectral efficiency optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) schemes. Digital compensation is an attractive method to relax component specifications. In this paper we report the details of a hybrid compensation method for IQ imbalance compensation, comprising of orthogonal training symbol-based method for transmitter-side compensation and an iterative image reduction-based method for receiver-side imbalance compensation. We demonstrate performance improvement using the hybrid method in presence of frequency dependent imbalance by both simulation and back-to-back direct detection optical OFDM experiment. We report on the tolerable limit of transmitter IQ imbalance under presence of carrier frequency offset. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

  • Highly Spectrally Efficient DWDM Transmission at 7.0 b/s/Hz Using 8 × 65.1-Gb/s Coherent PDM-OFDM

    Takahashi, H., Al Amin, A., Morita, I., Tanaka, H., Jansen, S.L.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   28 ( 4 ) 406 - 414  2010

     View Summary

    In this paper, we discuss the realization of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission at high spectral efficiency. For this experiment, coherent polarization-division multiplexing--orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (PDM-OFDM) is used as a modulation format. PDM-OFDM uses training symbols for channel estimation. This makes OFDM easily scalable to higher level modulation formats as channel estimation is realized with training symbols that are independent of the constellation size. Furthermore, because of its well-defined spectrum OFDM requires only a small guard band between WDM channels. The dependence of the number of OFDM subcarriers is investigated with respect to the interchannel linear crosstalk. At a constant data rate the number of OFDM subcarriers is estimated to achieve lower linear crosstalk in order to achieve higher spectral efficiency. We then experimentally demonstrate dense WDM (DWDM) transmission with 7.0-b/s/Hz net spectral efficiency using 8 x 65.1-Gb/s coherent PDM-OFDM signals with 8-GHz WDM channel spacing utilizing 32-quadrature-amplitude-modulation subcarrier modulation. Successful transmission is achieved over 240 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) spans with hybrid erbium-doped fiber amplifiers/Raman amplification.

  • 160 Gb/s-based field transmission experiments using polarizer-based PMD compensator with optical power monitor

    Daikoku, M., Miyazaki, T., Morita, I., Hattori, T., Tanaka, H., Kubota, F., Suzuki, M.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   27 ( 5 ) 451 - 461  2009

     View Summary

    Higher bit-rate transmission is attractive for improving network resource efficiency and reducing the complexity of network management in future transmission systems. However, chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) are one of the most serious impairments. In particular, PMD should be compensated for dynamically because it changes rapidly according to environmental variations such as temperature change and mechanical vibration. Therefore, an adaptive PMD compensator is indispensable for higher bit-rate transmission systems. In this paper, we employed a simple and bit-rate independent PMD compensator based on a polarizer with an optical power monitoring scheme in 160 Gb/s-based field experiments. By using the PMD compensator, the single channel transmission of a 160 Gb/s return-to-zero differential phase-shift-keying modulation signal over an installed fiber link with buried and aerial cable routes was successfully achieved. Approximately 1 dB of Q-factor was improved by using the PMD compensator when PMD impairment was maximized. Through these experiments, the effectiveness of the PMD compensator in the higher bit-rate transmission systems was confirmed in the field environment. Furthermore, single-polarization 8 x 160 Gb/s wavelength division multiplexing transmission over the installed 200 km standard single mode fiber without polarization demultiplexing was successfully achieved by using the simple PMD compensator.

    We discuss optical multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and show that by using multiple parallel OFDM bands, the required bandwidth of the digital-to-analogue/ analogue-to-digital converters and the required cyclic prefix can significantly be reduced. With the help of four OFDM hands and polarization division multiplexing (PDM) we report continuously detectable transmission of 10 x 121.9-Gb/s (112.6-Gb/s without OFDM overhead) at 50-GHz channel spacing over 1,000-km standard single mode fiber (SSMF) without any inline dispersion compensation. In this experiment 8 QAM subcarrier modulation is used which confines the spectrum of the 121.9 Gb/s PDM-OFDM signal within a 22.8 GHz optical bandwidth. Moreover, we propose a digital signal processing method to reduce the matching requirements for the wideband transmitter IQ mixer structures required for PDM-OFDM.

  • Coherent optical 25.8-Gb/s OFDM transmission over 4160-km SSMF

    Jansen, S.L., Morita, I., Schenk, T.C.W., Takeda, N., Tanaka, H.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   26 ( 1 ) 6 - 15  2008

     View Summary

    We discuss coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) as a suitable modulation technique for long-haul transmission systems. Several design and implementation aspects of a CO-OFDM system are reviewed, but we especially focus on phase noise compensation. As conventional CO-OFDM transmission systems are very sensitive to laser phase noise a novel method to compensate for phase noise is introduced. With the help of this phase noise compensation method we show continuously detectable OFDM transmission at 25.8 Gb/s data rate (20 Gb/s after coding) over 4160-km SSMF without dispersion compensation.

  • Long-haul transmission of 16×52.5 Gbits/s polarization-division- multiplexed OFDM enabled by MIMO processing (Invited)

    Jansen, S.L., Morita, I., Schenk, T.C.W., Tanaka, H.

    Journal of Optical Networking   7 ( 2 ) 173 - 182  2008

     View Summary

    We discuss the realization and performance of polarization-division-multiplexed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM-OFDM) for long-haul transmission systems. Polarization demultiplexing of the PDM signal at the receiver is realized by employing a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detector. Using a recirculating loop a long-haul transmission experiment is reported of 52.5 Gbits/s PDM-OFDM (40 Gbits/s after coding) over 4160 km of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF). In this transmission experiment, 16 wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels are transmitted at 50 GHz channel spacing, and we show that MIMO processing in the receiver enables both polarization demultiplexing and a large PMD tolerance.

    JOURNAL OF LIGHTWAVE TECHNOLOGY   25 ( 1 ) 139 - 145  2007.01

     View Summary

    In order to realize a future 100-Gb Ethernet (100 GbE) transport, 100-Gb/s transmission without 100-GHz-class electronics and optical time-division-multiplexing technique was demonstrated. By using a differential quadrature phase-shift-keying (DQPSK) modulation format and commercially available electronics, 2- and 50-km transmissions of 100-Gb/s signal were successfully achieved over a standard single mode fiber. The receiver sensitivity, chromatic dispersion, and differential group delay tolerances of 100-Gb/s DQPSK signal were also evaluated. Through these evaluations, the possibility of DQPSK modulation for future 100-GbE transport is verified.

     View Summary

    Ultra-long-haul 42.7-Gbit/s-based dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) transmission using optically prefiltered carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CS-RZ) signal has been experimentally investigated. First, we have numerically and experimentally evaluated the impact of 3-dB bandwidth and filter detuning of bandlimiting filters on the 42.7-Gbit/s CS-RZ signal in back-to-back condition. We found that the asymmetrically filtered CS-RZ signal had a great potential for ultra-DWDM applications. Next, we have numerically and experimentally investigated the basic transmission characteristics of a 45-GHz-wide prefiltered CS-RZ signal, such as the robustness against residual dispersion, nonlinear effects, and PMD, and have confirmed that the prefiltered CS-RZ signal had less tolerance against fiber nonlinearity than an unfiltered CS-RZ signal. Finally, we have experimentally investigated the optimum filtering condition for 65- or 45-GHz-wide prefiltered CS-RZ signals in the ultra-long-haul DWDM transmission and have conducted the 70- and 50-GHz spaced 32 × 42.7 Gbit/s transmission using prefiltered CS-RZ signals. Through these experiments, we have confirmed the effectiveness of prefiltered CS-RZ signal ultra-long-haul DWDM transmission.

     View Summary

    70-GHz-spaced 40 × 42.7 Gb/s prefiltered carrier-suppressed return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (CSRZ-DPSK) signals have been transmitted over transpacific distances for the first time, using all-Raman repeaters with two pump-wavelengths, dispersion-managed fiber commercially available in volume, and an ETDM receiver. In this paper, first, in order to enhance the spectral efficiency, the impact of bandlimitation to a CSRZ-DPSK signal was experimentally investigated in comparison to a conventional CSRZ-on-off-keying (OOK) signal, and we found that the bandlimitation tolerance of CSRZ-DPSK signal was smaller than that of CSRZ-OOK signal in back-to-back condition. We also confirmed that the prefiltering CSRZ-DPSK signal with up to 65 GHz bandlimitation potentially had better transmission performance than the prefiltered CSRZ-OOK signal. In addition, we found that, although the nonlinear transmission penalty was increased by bandlimitation, this penalty for CSRZ-DPSK signal was smaller than that for CSRZ-OOK signal. Through this study, long-term stability of the transmission performance was also evaluated with low-speed signal polarization scrambling without using any polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation.

  • Experimental study on optically band-limited 40-Gb/s RZ signals with optically time-division demultiplexing receiver

    Morita, I., Tsuritani, T., Edagawa, N.

    Journal of Lightwave Technology   20 ( 12 ) 2182 - 2188  2002

     View Summary

    The impact of optical filtering on 40-Gb/s return-to-zero (RZ) signals was experimentally investigated with an optically time-division multiplexing (OTDM) receiver. Through the evaluation of the signal performance by changing the interpulse-phase conditions of the symmetrically band-limited 40-Gb/s signals, we have confirmed that the similar performance was obtained regardless of the interpulse-phase condition, owing to the pulse-reshaping capability of an OTDM receiver. The performance comparison was also conducted between the symmetrically and asymmetrically filtered 40-Gb/s RZ signals. It was found that the symmetrically filtered signal was more tolerant for the dispersion-compensation error, while the asymmetrically filtered signal was more tolerant for the fiber nonlinearity with optical filters that have a 3-dB bandwidth of 45 GHz.

    IEICE Transactions on Communications   E85-B ( 2 ) 478 - 483  2002

     View Summary

    The effectiveness of Aeff enlarged positive dispersion fiber (EE-PDF) and hybrid amplification configuration with erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and fiber Raman amplifier for reducing the fiber nonlinearity and improving the transmission performance in long distance 40 Gbit/s-based WDM transmission was investigated. We have confirmed that the use of EE-PDF in modified dispersion map for 40 Gbit/s transmission is quite effective to increase the transmissible distance and have successfully demonstrated 16 × 40 Gbit/s WDM transmission over 2000 km with proper dispersion management. We have also confirmed that the use of distributed Raman amplification is quite effective to extend the repeated spacing. By adding the optimum Raman amplification, almost the same transmission performance was obtained with a doubled repeater spacing in long distance 40 Gbit/s-based WDM transmission.

     View Summary

    The possible key technologies for the ultra long-haul multi-terabit transmission systems were studied. The effectiveness of VSB-RZ transmission for high spectral efficiency and the need for further nonlinearity suppression in the transmission line for 40Gbit/s based WDM system applications was shown. The reconstruction of the suppressed sideband was found to be very small, thus the overall signal spectrum was kept narrow after 4260 km transmission. The Q-factor after 1935 km and 4260 km transmission was found to be 15.7dB and 12.6dB.

    40 Gbit/s-based WDM transmission using the dispersion flattened transmission span, which consisted of positive and negative dispersion fiber, was experimentally investigated. In the SMF-based transmission line, which has large dispersion, the penalty due to nonlinear crosstalk between WDM channels was found to be small. The effectiveness of distributed Raman amplification and low-nonlinear fiber to suppress the intra-channel nonlinear crosstalk was also investigated. By using optimum dispersion map on low-nonlinear fiber span, transmission distance over 2000 km was achieved in 16 x 40 Gbit/s WDM transmission experiment.

  • Impact of nonlinear crosstalk in 0.8 nm-spaced 40 Gbit/s DWDM systems

    Tanaka, K., Morita, I., Edagawa, N., Suzuki, M.

    Electronics Letters   36 ( 14 ) 1217 - 1218  2000

     View Summary

    Dispersion-flattened fiber spans with a single mode fiber (SMF) and a slope-compensating dispersion compensation fiber (SCDCF) have been demonstrated as fiber link for 40 Gbit/s wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) transmission. However, massive dense WDM (DWDM) transmission may cause significant interchannel crosstalk due to fiber nonlinearities. The impact of nonlinear penalty due to increase of the channel count in a 0.8 nm-spaced SMF/SCDCF-based 40-Gbit/s DWDM system is investigated. It is shown that the performance degradation for the increase of WDM channel count is not so large and that the penalty due to nonlinear crosstalk was <1 dB even in 16-channel transmission over 1500 km.

    400 Gbit/s (20×20 Gbit/s) wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission over 2000 km with a channel spacing of 0.8 nm using pre- and periodic dispersion compensation scheme and dispersion flattened fiber (DFF) is demonstrated. A bit error rate of less than 10-9 is obtained for all the channels after over 2000 km transmission. The transmission scheme is quite effective to increase the number of channels keeping higher channel bit rate in ultra large capacity transmission. Transmission distance seems to be limited by the signal-to-noise ratio after the transmission. Small effective area of around 35·m2 of DFF prevents increasing the signal power level.

This technique requires just the dispersion compensation fibers and wideband optical filters in the transmission line, which has no difficulty to be used in the practical system. By using polarization-division-multiplexing together with periodic dispersion compensation, single-channel 40 Gbit/s transmission over 4700 km was demonstrated. Single-polarization 40 Gbit/s transmission experiments, which are more suitable for system implementation and compatible with WDM were also conducted.

For a 20-Gbit/s, 9000-km transmission system, a Q2 of 19 dB, a sufficient power window of 2.5 dB, and robustness to repeater output power reduction have been demonstrated, as has compatibility with the conventional supervision scheme.

     View Summary

    In order to satisfy the demand for a further increase of data traffic in optical networks, the use of spectrally efficient modulation formats with high data rate per wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) channel are indispensable. Optical OFDM is one of promising technologies to increase a spectral efficiency. First of all, it has a small linear crosstalk between WDM channels because of its well defined spectral shape. In addition, OFDM is easily scalable to higher level modulation formats. Multi-band OFDM modulation scheme has been proposed as one of technologies to increase a channel bit-rate. In this paper, the trend of OFDM transmission with over 100 Gbit/s is reviewed and an example of transmission experiment with 3 x 458 Gbit/s at 8 bit/s/Hz SE utilizing multi-band OFDM modulation scheme are explained.

    IEICE technical report   110 ( 392 ) 87 - 92  2011.01

     View Summary

    In most cases, the interfaces of transmission equipment remain active for 24 hours a day regardless of traffic volume variations, wven in the case where the interfaces of the layer 2 switches are controlled by the dynamic bandwidth management function. Therefore, it is expected to save more energy if the interfaces of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transponders and layer 2 switches are interworked and the interfaces of the WDM transponders are adaptively controlled depending on traffic amount variations. In this paper, design of an energy-efficient WDM transponder is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed WDM transponder interworking with the link-aggregation technique possessed by a layer 2 switch can achieve power saving depending on traffic volume variations by utilizing an adaptive interface control.

     View Summary

    The required bit resolution of digital-analog-converter(DAC)for optical OFDM was evaluated through simulation and experiment. We found that the signal degradation caused by quantization depends on the number of subcarriers theoretically, but the other noise generated in experiment suppresses the dependency. Additionally, signal degradation caused by quantization is independent of subcarrier modulation, and the performance improvement saturates with increasing bit resolution. With the criteria for the BER of 1x10^<-3>, the required DAC resolution by simulation with ideal analog-digital-converter at receiver is 3 bits for QPSK, 4 bits for 8-QAM and 5 bits for 16-QAM and 32-QAM.

  • QoS Control on IP Multicast Flow in NGN Architecture Driven by IGMP Signaling

    MATSUMOTO Nobutaka, HAYASHI Michiaki, MORITA Itsuro, TANAKA Hideaki

    IEICE technical report   109 ( 448 ) 297 - 300  2010.02

     View Summary

    Session-based QoS control technique of NGN framework enables QoS control of IP multicast traffic. Typically, the NGN-based QoS control mechanism utilizes SIP signaling for acquiring session information between a contents server and user terminals, which requires to deploy SIP signaling functions on end-hosts (application servers, user terminals). However, introducing the NGN-based QoS control mechanism to existing non SIP-based IP multicast system induces tremendous system upgrade costs. This paper proposes a mechanism for a session-based QoS control in non-SIP IP multicast systems. In the proposed mechanism, the session-based QoS control is executed at edge routers by coordinating with a QoS server of NGN framework. Since the proposed mechanism uses IGMP signaling messages to trigger the QoS control, it does not require any change on end-hosts of existing IP multicast systems. The design of the prototype implementation of the proposed mechanism is described, and a demonstration of a multicast resource control operation using actual equipment is carried out.

    A cloud computing is expected to provide required servers as needed. In general, a cloud computing environment involves distributed data centers. When servers that are comunicated each other frequently are provided in different data centers, application performance will be degraded due to network latency. Therefore, to improve application performance over cloud network, we propose a dynamical provisioning architecture of network functions. The proposed architecture with data compression functions is experimentally demonstrated.

    IEICE technical report   109 ( 31 ) 7 - 12  2009.05

     View Summary

    Optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been actively considered for high capacity optical transmission not requiring optical dispersion compensation. In OFDM the transmitter and receiver IQ imbalance cause image interference that is known to be problematic in high capacity systems using high order modulation such as 16QAM. In this work we demonstrate a hybrid IQ imbalance compensation method based on orthogonal training symbols and image reduction algorithm, and confirm improved performance in optical OFDM by simulation. We verify the results with a 16QAM 27.3Gbps direct detection (DD)-optical OFDM transmission experiment, where after 320km SSMF, 3.5dB OSNR performance improvement is achieved. We have also confirmed improved performance by the proposed compensation method under carrier frequency offset in a 50Gbps DD-OFDM experiment.

    IEICE technical report   108 ( 423 ) 73 - 78  2009.01

     View Summary

    Optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is widely studied for high-speed transmission, since it can mitigate inter-symbol interference caused by chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. For the 100-Gbit/s transmission with OFDM, wideband digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are required, but their higher cost and lower resolution becomes serious issues. To solve this problem, we discuss the use of multi-band OFDM for 120-Gb/s polarization-division-multiplexed OFDM (PDM-OFDM). Compared to single-band OFDM, a significant reduction in required DAC/ADC bandwidth is obtained with a comparable computational complexity. Utilizing multi-band method, we have demonstrated 10x121.9-Gb/s PDM-OFDM. transmission over 1,000km of SSMF without any inline chromatic dispersion compensation.

    We have studied long-haul transmission performance of symmetrically and asymmetrically filtered 42.7Gbit/s CS-RZ signals. First, we have numerically and experimentally studied the robustness against various impairments. We have found that asymmetrically filtered CS-RZ signals have better tolerance to bandlimitation, and less robust against fiber nonlinearity, compared with symmetrically filtered CS-RZ signals. Next, we conducted 32WDM long-haul transmission experiments. We have found that comparative merits and demerits of symmetrically and asymmetrically filtered CS-RZ signals depend on system length.

     View Summary

    The effectiveness of Aeff enlarged positive dispersion fiber(EE-PDF) and hybrid amplification configuration using EDFA and Raman amplifier was investigated for long-distance 40Gbit/s-based WDM transmission. By adding the optimum Raman amplification, almost the same transmission performance was obtained with a doubled repeater spacing in 16 × 40Gbit/s, 2000 km WDM transmission. It was also confirmed that ultra-low-nonlinear transmission line using the hybrid amplification repeater and ultra-large Aeff fibers was effective to increase the transmission distance in 40Gbit/s-based transmission.

     View Summary

    High spectral efficiency is the key to realize cost-effective ultra long-haul WDM transmission systems. From that perspective, in this report, we evaluated the effectiveness of vestigial-sideband RZ (VSB-RZ) signals in multi-thousand km WDM transmission regarding the robustness against PMD, dispersion, repeater output variation and channel spacing reduction in comparison with the conventional RZ signals. We also show the experimental results on 35GHz-spaced 20Gbit/s VSB-RZ 100WDM signal transmission over 2700km.

     View Summary

    40 Gbit/s-based WDM transmission using the dispersion flattened transmission span, which consisted of positive and negative dispersion fiber, was ezperimentally investigated. In the SMF-based transmission line, which has large dispersion, the penalty due to nonlinear crosstalk between WDM channels was found to be small. The effectiveness of distributed Raman amplification and low-nonlinear fiber to suppress the intra-channel nonlinear crosstalk was also investigated. By using optimum dispersion map on low-nonlinear fiber span, transmission distance over 2000km was achieved in 16×40 Gbit/s WDM transmission experiment.

     View Summary

    The contribution of fiber amplifiers to nonlinear cross talk in WDM systems is usually neglected due to the much shorter fiber length compared with the transmission fiber. In this paper we show the nonlinear effect in tellurite EDFA and raman amplifiers, whose very wide gain bandwidth is quite attractive for massive WDM systems, is quite large due to their high nonlinear indices. This result indicates that the role of these amplifiers in the generation of optical nonlinearities should be carefully taken into account, if the use of them is going to be considered in future communications systems.
