Abstract
This chapter is intended as an introduction to optical networking. Firstly, we analyze the functionality of each of the nodes comprising an all-optical network. The evolution path from present WDM networks towards optical cross-connected networks is also discussed. Secondly, we describe several performance limiting factors in all-optical networks, including optical crosstalk. At this point we have introduced the general context of this book. Finally, a list of suggested literature is also given for the reader who may want a deeper treatment of optical networking.
