Abstract

This JOCN special issue contains extended versions of selected papers presented at the 25th International Conference on Optical Network Design and Modeling (ONDM 2021), which took place virtually from 28 June through 1 July 2021. The topics covered by the papers represent clear trends in current optical networking research, including capacity upgrade through transmission parameter optimization in multiband systems, spectral efficiency improvement through probabilistic constellation shaping in Flex Grid/multicore fiber networks, novel point-to-multipoint optical architectures based on digital subcarrier multiplexing that enable a rethink of multilayer network design, and trustworthy inter-operator sharing of passive optical network capacity based on a smart contract.
