Abstract

Challenges of next-generation transmission technologies are summarized in the context of creating future terabit-per-second networks. The technologies will be realized through both the separate and combined evolution of inherent lightwave capabilities along with time-, wavelength-, and space-domain optical processing techniques. Optical signal processing techniques in the tens of gigabit per second range for future high-speed transmission systems and broadband networks are reviewed
