Abstract :
This paper surveys the present state of optical frequency-division multiplexing (optical FDM) technologies. Utilizing a broad optical frequency bandwidth up to several hundred terahertz, optical FDM is expected to find applications in large-capacity trunking and local distribution networks. The present state of the related technologies and the future prospects for these applications are discussed.
