Abstract
Wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) technology is now recognized as one of the key technologies in optical communications systems. This is because it has great potential to enhance system design and flexibility. This paper reviews state-of-the-art optical multi/demultiplexers (MUX/DEMUX) and WDM system design. Various system applications are also summarized.
