Towards an optimal photonic network : optimising performance, cost and flexibility

This thesis investigates optical fibre transmission system technologies, and their impact on network architectures with the objective of lowering unit cost ($/Gb/s/km) of data transmission in long-haul, and ultra long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) photonic networks. The importan...
