Abstract
Today´s optical networks usually still perform electrical signal processing at the nodes. However, optical switching is available which allows transparent data transmission along lightpaths. Additionally, hardware cost can be reduced by saving on transponders. We investigate different approaches for providing selective regeneration while considering the impact of physical transmission limitations. Mathematical programs are formulated to obtain optimal results.
