Abstract
Optical networks using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) have bee n extensively investigated in order to actualize all optical networks in the future. WDM networks have great potential for realizing ultra-h igh capacity both for transmission and optical routing. We have to wai t, however, for device technologies to mature before fully utilizing t his potential. This paper reviews recent progress in research and deve lopment into optical devices for WDM networks.
