Deploying Monitoring Trails for Fault Localization in All-optical Networks and Radio-over-Fiber Passive Optical NetworksMaamoun, Khaled M. 24 August 2012 (has links)
Fault localization is the process of realizing the true source of a failure from a set of collected failure notifications. Isolating failure recovery within the network optical domain is necessary to resolve alarm storm problems. The introduction of the monitoring trail (m-trail) has been proven to deliver better performance by employing monitoring resources in a form of optical trails - a monitoring framework that generalizes all the previously reported counterparts. In this dissertation, the m-trail design is explored and a focus is given to the analysis on using m-trails with established lightpaths to achieve fault localization. This process saves network resources by reducing the number of the m-trails required for fault localization and therefore the number of wavelengths used in the network. A novel approach based on Geographic Midpoint Technique, an adapted version of the Chinese Postman’s Problem (CPP) solution and an adapted version of the Traveling Salesman’s Problem (TSP) solution algorithms is introduced. The desirable features of network architectures and the enabling of innovative technologies for delivering future millimeter-waveband (mm-WB) Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) systems for wireless services integrated in a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) is proposed in this dissertation. For the conceptual illustration, a DWDM RoF system with channel spacing of 12.5 GHz is considered. The mm-WB Radio Frequency (RF) signal is obtained at each Optical Network Unit (ONU) by simultaneously using optical heterodyning photo detection between two optical carriers. The generated RF modulated signal has a frequency of 12.5 GHz. This RoF system is easy, cost-effective, resistant to laser phase noise and also reduces maintenance needs, in principle. A revision of related RoF network proposals and experiments is also included. A number of models for Passive Optical Networks (PON)/ RoF-PON that combine both innovative and existing ideas along with a number of solutions for m-trail design problem of these models are proposed. The comparison between these models uses the expected survivability function which proved that these models are liable to be implemented in the new and existing PON/ RoF-PON systems. This dissertation is followed by recommendation of possible directions for future research in this area.

Designing Survivable Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Mesh NetworksHaque, Anwar 10 April 2007 (has links)
This thesis focuses on the survivable routing problem in WDM mesh networks where the objective is to minimize the total number of wavelengths used for establishing working and protection paths in the WDM networks. The past studies for survivable routing suffers from the scalability problem when the number of nodes/links or connection requests grow in the network. In this thesis, a novel path based shared protection framework namely Inter-Group Shared protection (I-GSP) is proposed where the traffic matrix can be divided into multiple protection groups (PGs) based on specific grouping policy. Optimization is performed on these PGs such that sharing of protection wavelengths is considered not only inside a PG, but between the PGs. Simulation results show that I-GSP based integer linear programming model, namely, ILP-II solves the networks in a reasonable amount of time for which a regular integer linear programming formulation, namely, ILP-I becomes computationally intractable. For most of the cases the gap between the optimal solution and the ILP-II ranges between (2-16)%. The proposed ILP-II model yields a scalable solution for the capacity planning in the survivable optical networks based on the proposed I-GSP protection architecture.

Optoelectronic device simulation: Optical modeling for semiconductor optical amplifiers and Solid state lightingWang, Dongxue Michael 11 April 2006 (has links)
This dissertation includes two parallel topics: optical modeling of wavelength converters based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) and optical modeling for LEDs and solid state lighting. A steady-state numerical model of wavelength converters based on cross-gain SOAs is developed. In this model, a new model of the gain coefficient is applied. Each physical variable, such as the carrier density, gain coefficient, differential gain, and internal loss, spatially varies across the SOA cavity and is numerically calculated throughout the device. Increased accuracy over previous studies is achieved by including such spatial variations. This model predicts wavelength-dependent characteristics of a wavelength converter of the SOA in both large and small signal regimes. Some key performance factors of SOA wavelength converters. A hybrid method incorporating both guided wave optics and optical ray tracing is also developed to model LEDs and solid state lighting. This method can model either single wavelength or dual-wavelength LED structures with different die shapes and packages. The waveguide and diffraction optics are mainly used to model the near-field optics inside LED chips and its vicinity and to identify guided modes and leakage modes. Geometrical ray tracing is applied to model the far-field pattern and light interactions at different material interfaces, such as LED chip structures, LED package materials, and light scattering at those rough surfaces and textures. To improve LED light extraction efficiency, different LED die shapes and device structures can also be optimized using this method. New technologies for future research on SOAs and LEDs are also proposed.

Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: A implementação de controladores de ordem reduzida (fixa) demanda um menor esforço de processamento e consequentemente recursos de hardware menos sofisticados em relação à implementação de controladores de ordem completa. Este trabalho mostra que a implementação prática de controladores H 00 de ordem fixa voltados para o controle de estruturas flexíveis é factível. A obtenção de tais controladores é um problema considerado difícil por ser nãoconvexo. Para contornar as dificuldades numéricas de obtenção dos controladores de ordem fixa, uma combinação do método Lagrangiano Aumentado com Desigualdades Matriciais Lineares (LMls) é utilizada. Uma estrutura de viga com engaste em uma de suas extremidades é modelada através do método de Elementos Finitos. Controladores Hoc de ordem fixa e de ordem completa são projetados com base em um modelo matemático truncado. Incertezas de modelagem e a presença de modos próximos na região de frequência de interesse dificultam a obtenção de controladores que garantam a estabilidade e um desempenho satisfatório. Para contornar estas dificuldades, usa-se a técnica de controle robusto Hoo e filtros de ponderação. Dessa forma, procura-se minimizar o efeito das incertezas e evitar que modos que não foram considerados durante a fase de projeto dos controladores não sejam excitados, garantido assim a não ocorrência do fenômeno denominado spillover. Controladores Hoo de ordem completa e ordem fixa são implementados na prática e os resultados experimentais são comparados com resultados simulados / Abstract: The implementation of reduced (fixed ) order controllers requires a smaller computational effort and. consequently, less advanced hardware resources in relation to the implementation of full order controllers. This work shows that the practical implementation of fixed order Hoo controllers directed toward the control of flexible structures is viable. Obtaining such controllers is considered a difficult task for being a non-convex problem. To overcome the numerical difficulties of attainment of fixed order controllers, a combination of the Lagrangian method increased with Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) is used. A cantilever beam is modelled with the Finite Element Method. Fixed and full order controllers are designed based on a truncated mathematical model. Modelling uncertainties and the existence of near modes in the frequency range of interest make difficult the attainment of controllers that assure the stability and the performance of the system. To overcome this difficulty, the robust Hoo control and weighing filters are used. In this way, it is desired to minimize the effect of uncertainties and avoid the excitement of non-modelled modes, assuring that the spillover phenomenon does not occur. Full order and fixed order H x controllers are implemented in the practice and the experimental results are compared with the simulated results / Mestrado / Mecanica dos Sólidos e Projeto Mecanico / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Performance comparison of two dynamic shared-path protection algorithms for WDM optical mesh networksSharma, Ameeth 26 January 2009 (has links)
Finding an optimal solution to the problem of fast and efficient provisioning of reliable connections and failure recovery in future intelligent optical networks is an ongoing challenge. In this dissertation, we investigate and compare the performance of an adapted shared-path protection algorithm with a more conventional approach; both designed for survivable optical Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) mesh networks. The effect of different classes of service on performance is also investigated. Dedicated path protection is a proactive scheme which reserves spare resources to combat single link failures. Conventional Shared-path Protection (CSP) is desirable due to the efficient utilization of resources which results from the sharing of backup paths. Availability is an important performance assessment factor which measures the probability that a connection is in an operational state at some point in time. It is the instantaneous counterpart of reliability. Therefore, connections that do not meet their availability requirements are considered to be unreliable. Reliability Aware Shared-path Protection (RASP) adopts the advantages of CSP by provisioning reliable connections efficiently, but provides protection for unreliable connections only. With the use of a link disjoint parameter, RASP also permits the routing of partial link disjoint backup paths. A simulation study, which evaluates four performance parameters, is undertaken using a South African mesh network. The parameters that are investigated are: 1. Blocking Probability (BP), which considers the percentage of connection requests that are blocked, 2. Backup Success Ratio (BSR), which considers the number of connections that are successfully provisioned with a backup protection path, 3. Backup Primary Resource Ratio (BPR), which considers the ratio of resources utilized to cater for working traffic to the resources reserved for protection paths and lastly 4. Reliability Satisfaction Ratio (RSR), which evaluates the ratio of provisioned connections that meet their availability requirements to the total number of provisioned connections. Under dynamic traffic conditions with varying network load, simulation results show that RASP can provision reliable connections and satisfy Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements. A competitive Blocking Probability (BP) and lower Backup Primary Resource Ratio (BPR) signify an improvement in resource utilization efficiency. A higher Backup Success Ratio (BSR) was also achieved under high Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. The significance of different availability requirements is evaluated by creating three categories, high availability, medium availability and low availability. These three categories represent three classes of service, with availability used as the QoS parameter. Within each class, the performance of RASP and CSP is observed and analyzed, using the parameters described above. Results show that both the BP and BPR increase with an increase in the availability requirements. The RSR decreases as the reliability requirements increase and a variation in BSR is also indicated. / Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2009. / Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering / unrestricted

Povrchové plasmony v optických mikrostrukturách a jejich senzorové aplikace / Surface plasmons in optical microstructures and their sensor applicationsAdam, Pavel January 2013 (has links)
Title: Surface plasmons in optical microstructures and their sensor applications Author: Pavel Adam Institute: Institute of Photonics and Electronics AS CR, v.v.i., Department of Optical Sensors Supervisor of the doctoral thesis: doc. Ing. Jiří Homola, CSc., DSc. Abstract: This work is focused on the study of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor platforms based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) of multiple surface plasmons (SPs). These sensors are based on advanced diffraction gratings supporting either conventional or Bragg-scattered SPs, which are simultaneously excited at different wavelengths. These SPs are studied both analytically and numerically using rigorous coupled-wave analysis and an integral approach. WDM of two and three SPs is presented and followed by the method for the analysis of the resolution, noise and cross-sensitivity. This method is employed to analyze the ability of different SPR sensor platforms (supporting WDM of two SPs) to discriminate refractive index (RI) changes in a thin layer at the sensor surface from background RI changes. The WDM SPR sensors based on advanced diffraction gratings prepared by interferometric holography are developed and tested in a model biosensing experiment consisting of the layer-by-layer growth of protein multilayers. The linear WDM of two...

Reliability versus Cost in Next Generation Optical Access NetworksMahloo, Mozhgan January 2013 (has links)
The ever increasing demands of Internet users caused by the introduction of new high bandwidth applications and online services as well as the growing number of users and devices connected to the Internet, bring many challenges for the operators, especially in the last mile section of the network. Next generation access architectures are expected to offer high sustainable bandwidth per user. They also need to support a much larger service areas to decrease number of current central offices and hence potentially save the network expenditures in the future. Obviously, it requires high capacity and low loss transmission and optical fiber technology is the only future proof candidates for broadband access. Although this technology has already been widely deployed in the core networks, it is hard to use the same expensive devices made for core segment to solve the last mile bottlenecks, due to the low number of users sharing the network resources (and deployment cost). Therefore, the next generation optical access (NGOA) networks need to be designed with consideration of cost efficiency in the first place. Network reliability is also turning to be an important aspect for the NGOA networks as a consequence of long reach, high client count and new services requiring uninterrupted access. Consequently, new architectures not only need to be cost efficient but also they should fulfill the increasing reliability requirements. Although several NGOA alternatives have been proposed in the literatures, there is not yet an agreement on a single architecture. As described earlier, network expenditure and reliability performance are the two main factors to be considered. Therefore, this thesis concentrates on finding a suitable alternative for future broadband access by evaluating the reliability performance and total cost of ownership for several NGOA candidates. In particular, in this thesis we analyze the tradeoff between the cost needed to deploy backup resources and the reliability performance improvement obtained by the provided survivability mechanism. First, we identified the suitable NGOA candidates by comparing two main groups of optical access networks, namely passive optical networks (PONs) and active optical networks (AONs), in terms of cost, reliability performance and power consumption. The initial results have shown that wavelength division multiplexing PON (WDM PON) is the most promising alternative for the NGOA networks because of its high potential capacity, low cost and power consumption. So we continued our studies by investigating two WDM-based PON architectures regarding their cost and reliability performance. The study has also included a proposed fiber layout compatible with these two candidates aiming to minimize the required investment needed to offer protection. Our primary results confirmed that hybrid PON (HPON) is the best alternative for the NGOA networks. Therefore we further analyzed this candidate considering several variants of HPON. The most important components and sections of the HPON, which need to be protected to decrease the impact of each failure in the network have been identified. Based on these outcomes, two resilience architectures protecting the shared part of the HPON were proposed and their reliability performance parameters as well as cost of protection were evaluated. According to the results, using our proposed protection schemes a considerable improvement in reliability performance of the HPON variants can be provided at minor extra investment. We also introduced a cost efficient HPON architecture with different levels of protection for users with various reliability requirements, i.e. the protection of shared parts of the access network for all the connected users and end-to-end resilience scheme for some selected ones (e.g., business users). To gain an overall view on the cost efficiency of the proposed architecture, we evaluated the investment required for deploying these schemes considering several network upgrading paths towards a protected network. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis investigating the influence of network deployments time and the density of the users with higher availability requirements was presented. In summary, we have shown that HPON is able to fulfill the main NGOA requirements such as high bandwidth per-user, large coverage and client count. The work carried out in the thesis has proved that HPON can also offer high reliability performance while keeping the network expenditures at an acceptable level. Moreover, low power consumption and high flexibility in resource allocation of this architecture, makes it a winning candidate for the NGOA networks. Therefore, HPON is a promising architecture to be deployed as NGOA network in the near future considering the fact that components are soon to be available in the market. / <p>QC 20130530</p> / FP7 EU project, Optical Access Seamless Evolution(OASE)
