3 Optical Communications 1 st generation optical networks: packet routing and switching are mainly carried out using high-speed electronic devices. However, as the transmission rate continues to increase, electronically processing data potentially becomes a bottleneck at an intermediate node along the network. 1P 100T 10T 1T 100G 10G 1G 100M 1995 2000 2005 2010 [bit/s] Voice Data Total Traffic demand forecast (NEC2001) Capacity increase : 2~4 times a year Bit cost decrease : 1/2 time a year Solution: All-optical processing & switching
