Design methodology for WDM backbone networks using FWM-aware heuristic algorithm

For optical backbone networks using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM), four-wave mixing appears as the dominant nonlinear phenomenon. In this paper a novel lightpath establishment scheme is proposed to improve physical-layer performance by restricting FWM generation.
