Abstract

The widely used erbium–doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), instead of its numerous merits, are expensive and require maintenance, thus making network designers to recrudesce techniques to minimize the number of amplifiers in any optical networks. In this paper, the hybrid network topology (mesh-ring-bus) is proposed and further the count of amplifiers has been optimized to its minimum number. The used mixed integer linear program (MILP) solvers employ branch and bound strategies has been used to handle the linear constraints. On the other hand, last as soon as possible (LASAP) scheme has been used for amplifiers gain splitting and its placement..
