Abstract
Since the first commercial deployment of the point-to-point DWDM system by the inter-exchange carriers a few years ago, there has been increasing interest in multi wavelength optical networking technology for inter-exchange, local exchange and metropolitan area network applications. In addition to providing low-cost bandwidth expansion, the multi wavelength optical networking technologies used in these applications need to offer optical domain add/drop and cross-connect capabilities with such features as scalability, reconfigurability, survivability, interoperability and transparency.
