Abstract
In satisfying the world bandwidth demand, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology has gained paramount importance for modern telecommunication networks. Here, WDM provides simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams in one optical fiber, utilizing the high bandwidth capacity of optical fibers to answer the immense growth in data traffic. This paper presents the new WDM architecture with OADM, dynamic bandwidth allocation, and system performance monitoring for optimal utilization of the entire optical communication systems. Dynamic allocation of optical resources using the tunability of WDM permits enhanced flexibility for bandwidth reconfiguration and reduced operational costs. OADMs allow for the drop and add of a wavelength on demand, thereby providing an efficient mechanism for forwarding traffic through point-to-point, multicast, and mesh network topologies. These features greatly enhance the scalability and survivability of optical networks, especially with the advent of the next generation of broadband services such as video conferencing and distance learning.
