Chung-Sheng Li, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Hawthorne, New York 10532
Due to the explosive growth in the demand for network bandwidth, devices and subsystems that can support gigabit and multigigabit throughput have become increasingly important. In this chapter, we review several emerging technologies for fiber optical data communication. In particular, we focus on the technologies for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), as it is the most important technique in advancing the communication bandwidth for the next-generation broadband networks.
11.1. Introduction
Due to the explosive growth of the number of the Internet users and the world wide web sites, there ...
