Abstract
Optical systems and technologies have been radically changing the telecommunication networks for past 15 years; today wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) tec nology, optical amplifiers, and simple optical switching elements like optical add–drop multiplexers (OADMs) are used in the backbone networks of all operators worldwide. Optical systems nowadays provide the basis for cost-effect transmission of large amounts of bandwidth over the Intern and will enable its future growth and the spreading of new applications and services. This paper summarizes the main trends in optical networking and investigates potential fu application areas. Optical system technology has become so pervasive in network design that it needs to be considered the context of provisioning new applications and services. Therefore, the analysis is not limited to the aspects of p transmission, but also takes into account recent developme in integrated network design as well as network control an management. The following sections describe the key func- tionalities of future optical network architectures, anfindings of the theoretical analysis are supported by the results of a field trial of advanced transmission technology.
