Abstract
Recently the exponential rising of Internet traffic has created greatest demand on the capacity of the optic fiber links which form the backbones of the global communication networks. One solution is to use the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technique to multiply many Electronically Time Division Multiplexed (ETDM) channels together into a single strain of fiber to boost total capacity. Under today’s technology, it is capable to transmit 160 channels, each running at 10 Gbps, for an aggregated capacity of 1.6 Tbps per fiber.
