  2. Optical transport network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transport_network

    This creates an optical virtual private network for each client signal. ITU-T defines an optical transport network as a set of optical network elements (ONE) connected by optical fiber links, able to provide functionality of transport, multiplexing, switching, management, supervision and survivability of optical channels carrying client signals ...

  3. Transfer-matrix method (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer-matrix_method...

    The Abeles matrix method [3] [4] [5] is a computationally fast and easy way to calculate the specular reflectivity from a stratified interface, as a function of the perpendicular momentum transfer, Q z: = ⁡ =

  4. Monte Carlo method for photon transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method_for...

    Modeling photon propagation with Monte Carlo methods is a flexible yet rigorous approach to simulate photon transport. In the method, local rules of photon transport are expressed as probability distributions which describe the step size of photon movement between sites of photon-matter interaction and the angles of deflection in a photon's trajectory when a scattering event occurs.

  5. Packet over SONET/SDH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_over_SONET/SDH

    Packet over SONET/SDH, abbreviated POS, is a communications protocol for transmitting packets in the form of the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) over SDH or SONET, which are both standard protocols for communicating digital information using lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs) over optical fibre at high line rates.

  6. Optical mesh network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mesh_network

    Switching, multiplexing, and grooming of traffic in an OEO device. Optical mesh networks refer to transport networks that are built directly off the mesh-like fiber infrastructure deployed in metropolitan, regional, national, or international (e.g., trans-oceanic) areas by deploying optical transport equipment that is capable of switching traffic (at the wavelength or sub-wavelength level ...

  7. Synchronous optical networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_optical_networking

    Transport of network management data between the network management system terminal and the SONET/SDH equipment, e.g. using TL1/Q3 protocols. Transport of network management data between SDH/SONET equipment using dedicated embedded data communication channels (DCCs) within the section and line overhead.

  8. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

    On June 3, 1880, Bell conducted the world's first wireless telephone transmission between two buildings, some 213 meters apart. [13] [14] Due to its use of an atmospheric transmission medium, the Photophone would not prove practical until advances in laser and optical fiber technologies permitted the secure transport of light. The Photophone's ...

  9. Optical networking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_networking

    Optical networking is a means of communication that uses signals encoded in light to transmit information in various types of telecommunications networks.These include limited range local-area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WANs), which cross metropolitan and regional areas as well as long-distance national, international and transoceanic networks.
