Multi-wavelength optical access networks: architectures and enabling technologies
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we will discuss the network architectures and the enabling technologies to realize a robust multi-wavelength optical access network. Various network topologies employing the dense WDM or coarse WDM technique; as well as several network enabling technologies such as data re-modulation technique, fiber link protection and traffic restoration, etc. will be described. Besides, some future trends and applications of multi-wavelength optical access networks will also be discussed.
