Photonics has rapidly become the dominant technology for the transmission of information in the national and global infrastructure, including undersea, terrestrial long-haul, CATV and local telephone access applications. Expanding this success deeper into the network, we are challenged by new requirements such as conforming to the new ATM (asynchronous transfer-mode) standards and by new opportunities such as wavelength routing and transparent high-capacity networking.
