Introduction to ultra-high-speed optical transmission technology

This paper serves as an introduction to this volume on ultra-high-speed optical transmission technology. It reviews ultra-high-speed data transmission in optical fibers, which is essentially the same as optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) transmission technology. The research work in this field is driven by the need to increase the transmission capacity and controllability of fiber optic networks as well as by an interest in investigating the feasibility of high-speed data transmission in fiber. The chapter summarizes OTDM components and describes results of OTDM-transmission experiments. In addition, it outlines the chapters of this volume, which describe the considered topics in detail.
