Abstract :
The author presents a brief overview of WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) technology, systems, and challenges, with emphasis on current research at AT&T Bell Laboratories. Particular attention is given to long-haul systems, local applications, and tunable WDM (e.g. the WDM digital crossconnect system and WDM multiple-access networks)
