Abstract
The future internet demands for increase of the transmission capacity in access and core networks. Today telecom operators are installing massively WDM links to gratify the demand for capacity upgrades mainly for point-to-point connections. The link capacity will grow to a few Tbit/s per fiber. It is expected that optical time domain techniques (OTDM) will be used to increase the bit rate per WDM channel further beyond the highest available electronic processing speed. Today 10 Gbit/s-systems are commercial available, for the next months 40 Gbit/s systems are announced. With today’s OTDM techniques an increase to 160 Gbit/s is feasible. It is expected that the bit rate for one wavelength channel may be increased to about 1 Tbit/s. The needs for the pulse sources, the demultiplexers, and the design of the fiber system will be discussed.
