Abstract
Networks employing wavelength routing, optical amplifiers, and flexible access techniques offer the potential of high reliability and high capacity for telecommunications core network systems. The requirements of these long-haul networks will place high demands on the optical bandwidth and noise performance of optical amplifiers. Network models based on both optical broadband and wavelength selective principles are compared, and a method of equalizing the useful optical bandwidth of amplified routes in wavelength selective networks is presented. Experimental work using commercially available wavelength-division in multiplexing technology, distributed-feedback lasers, and optical amplifiers is described.Keywords
