All-Optical Networks

  • Chapter
High Speed Optical Communications

Part of the book series: Telecommunication Technology and Applications Series ((TTAP))

Abstract

The principal motivations for all-optical networking arise from the ability of optical fiber technology to fulfil the growing demand for bandwidth per user, protocol transparency, higher path reliability, and simplified operation and management. In all these areas, established approaches realised via electronic circuitry, based on time division multiplexing (TDM) are beginning to prove insufficient, as they cannot perform the required operations as cheaply as the all-optical techniques, assuming they can perform them at all.
