TLDR
In this paper, the future outlook for communication networks based on optical frequency division multiplexing (optical FDM) technology is assessed based on the technical results obtained from a 100-channel optical FDM experiment.Abstract:
Optical frequency division multiplexing (optical FDM) technology, which allows the use of an extremely broad lightwave bandwidth (10-200 THz and over) and can realize transport systems that could replace the current digital (time division multiplexing based) transport networks, is described. The future outlook for communication networks based on optical FDM technology is assessed. Based on the technical results obtained from a 100-channel optical FDM experiment, of an optical FDM channel concept is proposed and a viable architecture for optical FDM-channel-based networks is developed. >read more

Bends in optical dielectric guides
TL;DR: In this article, light transmission through a curved dielectric rod of rectangular cross section embedded in different dielectrics is analyzed in closed-form, though approximate form, in three ranges: (i) small cross section guides such as a thin glass ribbon surrounded by air; making its width 1 percent of the wavelength, most of the power travels outside of the glass; the attenuation coefficient of the guide is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of glass; and the radius of curvature that doubles the straight guide loss is around 10,000Λ.
