Abstract
The authors outline the aspects of wavelength routing in the context of both telecommunications and computer networks. Experimental results on network range and the use of both semiconductor and fibre based optical amplifiers to extend both the range and splitting capability are presented. Finally the use of active optical devices, for example amplifiers, to provide network switching functions are discussed
