Abstract :
An overview of optical time-division multiplexed (OTDM) networks is presented. We survey various design approaches from several research groups and their supporting technologies. Some fundamental issues of OTDM networks including noise sources, synchronization, and nonlinear transmission effects are discussed. We also introduce our design approach for an OTDM network and describe the related enabling technologies. We focus on the multihop transparent packet-switching network architecture which offers both ultra-high speed and maximum parallelism
