Abstract :
This paper addresses network management and operations issues for WDM networks. New WDM components, such as the optical spectrum analyzer, P(λ), inexpensive WDM multiplexers with flat passband, and optical amplifiers with uniform gain, will be important technologies to enable cost effective and robust operation of WDM networks
