DWDM 시스템동향 및 광네트워크 발전방향

A study on the technological trend of the DWDM system and development plan for Optical Network

Optical transport has been sucessfully developed as a fast information transfer since 1970s, and a WDM system, based on the wavelength division multiplexing technique, was implemented to the backbone network. The WDM technique is able to improve its data traffic by utilizing its optical fiber efficiently, and is suitable for an easy network operation and management. Therefore, trend for DWDM, which is known to be one of DWM system being currently used, and the direction for optical network development will be investigated in this study.
