Abstract

Summary form only given. The talk will introduce the activities of the IST EU FP6 STREP project TRIUMPH (transparent ring interconnection using multi-wavelength photonic switches). It will focus on the use of advanced optical signal regeneration subsystems that enable novel optical networking concepts such as transparent ring interconnection at high bit rates (up to 160 Gb/s). The presentation will aim to reveal the possible configurations and associated performance of an optical cross connect that will offer multiwavelength regeneration and WDM to OTDM and OTDM to WDM conversion.
