Design and Operation of Survivable WDM Transport Networks

Design and Operation of Survivable WDM Transport Networks

Abstract

This contribution gives a short introduction in optical WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks with special focus on wide-area transport networks and on a possible evolution scenario towards all-optical networks. Furthermore, design and planning aspects for a WDM network are discussed. This comprises a short overview on a planning process in general and a presentation of some specific facets of photonic networks such as the subject of wavelength conversion or survivability requirements. Finally, some aspects concerning the operation of WDM networks will be discussed.
