Abstract :
A wide variety of applications all point to an increasing importance for dense WDM networks, where the wavelength becomes a part of the interconnection and switching fabric. The author outlines the types of network architectures that are evolving using dense WDM, reviews some of their potential applications, summarizes experimental progress, and discusses some of the relevant technologies
