WASPNET: a wavelength switched packet network
David K. Hunter,M.H.M. Nizam,M.C. Chia,Ivan Andonovic,K.M. Guild,Anna Tzanakaki,Mike J. O'Mahony,L.D. Bainbridge,Marc Stephens,Richard V. Penty,Ian H. White +10 more
TL;DR: A photonic packet switching testbed is detailed which will allow the ideas developed within WASPNET to be tested in practice, permitting the practical problems of their implementation to be determined.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Ian Phillips,Mingming Tan,Marc Stephens,Mary E. McCarthy,Elias Giacoumidis,Stelios Sygletos,Pawel Rosa,Simon J. Fabbri,Son Thai Le,Thavamaran Kanesan,Sergey Turitsyn,Nick Doran,Paul Harper,Andrew D. Ellis +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a combination of Raman laser based amplification and optical phase conjugation enables transmission beyond the nonlinear-Shannon limit.
Journal ArticleDOI
4 Tb/s Transmission Reach Enhancement Using 10 × 400 Gb/s Super-Channels and Polarization Insensitive Dual Band Optical Phase Conjugation
Andrew D. Ellis,Mingming Tan,Asif Iqbal,Mohammad Al-Khateeb,Vladimir Gordienko,Gabriel Saavedra Mondaca,Simon J. Fabbri,Marc Stephens,Mary E. McCarthy,Andreas Perentos,Ian Phillips,Domanic Lavery,Gabriele Liga,Robert Maher,Paul Harper,Nick Doran,Sergei K. Turitsyn,Stylianos Sygletos,Polina Bayvel +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors experimentally demonstrate the benefit of polarization insensitive dual-band optical phase conjugation for up to ten 400 GB/s optical super-channels using a Raman amplified transmission link with a realistic span length of 75 km.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of ultrafast all-optical wavelength conversion utilizing birefringence in semiconductor optical amplifiers
TL;DR: In this paper, a high extinction ratio wavelength conversion was demonstrated in a semiconductor optical amplifier using a mixture of cross-gain and cross-phase modulation in a polarization rotation technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of Nonlinear Intersubcarrier Intermixing in Coherent Optical OFDM by a Fast Newton-Based Support Vector Machine Nonlinear Equalizer
Elias Giacoumidis,Sofien Mhatli,Marc Stephens,Athanasios Tsokanos,Jinlong Wei,Mary E. McCarthy,Nick Doran,Andrew D. Ellis +7 more
TL;DR: A fast Newton-based support vector machine (N-SVM) nonlinear equalizer (NLE) is experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, in 40 Gb/s 16-quadrature amplitude modulated coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing at 2000 km of transmission.
