Abstract :
A study on the transmission limitations of an all-optical network using an N×N multi/demultiplexer or wavelength router is presented. Modelling results show that such a network can support up to 400 wavelength channels transparently over a distance of ~1000 km. The implication of these results is that a centralised wavelength routing node could provide interconnection on a national scale
