This my phd thesis for the WDM optical network optimization, which employs convex optimization techniques to solve the proposed integer problems. The computation complexity of my optimization framework is very low compared with other existing method

The passive optical network (PON) is an optical fiber based network architecture,which can provide much higher bandwidth in the access network compared to traditional copper-based networks. Incorporating wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) in a PO

Optical Burst Switching (OBS) network is seen as a promising solution as it directly transports Internet-Protocol over Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IP over WDM) networks. OBS network uses a one-way resource reservation mechanism to set up the re

New optical access technologies allow network operators to cope with larger client count and longer access distances, as well as to deliver larger bandwidth. This paper focuses on next generation optical access network architectures using Wavelen
