Key Innovations:

  • Introduces a hyper-accelerated power optimization (HPO) framework employing interrelated inverse differential equations.
  • Enables optimal per-span power computation within seconds, suitable for fast reconfiguration in multi-band elastic optical networks.
  • Delivers up to 0.5 dB improvement in generalized SNR (GSNR) per channel—enhancing throughput and reach performance.

This advancement represents a major step toward real-time, efficient control of next-generation optical infrastructure under the Allegro EU Project’s vision.
