Abstract
A basic property of single-mode optical fiber is its enormous low-loss bandwidth of many terahertz (THz). Unfortunately, single channel transmission is limited in speed to much less than the fiber capacity due to limitations in opticoelectronic component speed and dispersive effects. To fully utilize the huge bandwidth of optical fibers, two multiplexing techniques, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and time division multiplexing (TDM), have been used to transmit several channels simultaneously on a single fiber. Such multichannel lightwave networks offer enormous aggregate capacity and greater flexibility. The research challenges involve both novel approaches to network architecture and infrastructures and their performance analysis. In this paper, we give a survey of some of the latest works in these areas.
