Optimal Crosstalk Detection and Localization Method for Optical Time Division Multiplexed Transmission Systems (1004.4586v1)

Published 26 Apr 2010 in cs.NI

Abstract: All-Optical Network (AON) is a network where the user-network interface is optical and the data does undergo optical to electrical conversion within the network. AONs are attractive because they promise very high rates, flexible switching and broad application support. There are two technologies for AON: Wavelength Division Multiplexed (WDM) and Optical Time Division Multiplexed (OTDM). OTDM transmission systems are becoming increasingly important as one of the key technologies satisfying the growing demand for large capacity optical networks. Although OTDM has several advantages in terms of operation system, such as natural accommodation of higher bit rate payloads, it introduces many security vulnerabilities, which do not exist in traditional networks. One of the serious problems with OTDM is the fact that optical crosstalk is additive, and thus the aggregate effect of crosstalk over a whole all-optical network (AON) may be more nefarious than a single point of crosstalk. This is because crosstalk can spread rapidly through the network, causing additional awkward failures and triggering multiple undesirable alarms. This results in the continuous monitoring and identification of the impairments becoming challenging in the event of transmission failures. In this paper we propose a novel approach for detecting and localizing crosstalk in OTDM transmission systems that can participate in some tasks for fault management in optical network.
