            Abstract : 
Along with the emergence and maturity of 100Gbit/s technologies, numbers of trial and commercial 100Gbit/s Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems have been established worldwide. The research-oriented lab tests of 100Gbit/s WDM systems were done by China Unicom in 2012. The 100Gbit/s technologies of polarization multiplex-quadrature phase shift keying with coherent detection from multiple vendors have been studied. There are some further issues to be specified before the commercial application of 100Gbit/s WDM system is implemented in large scale in backbone network, including optical performance parameters, optical performance monitoring of 100Gbit/s system, protection mechanism, selection of client interface and comprehensive Operation, Administration and Maintenance (OAM).
