Epilog-latest advances in dense WDM technology

Since great progress has occurred recently, a short summary is presented of some of the most significant results reported in a period of six months. Topics covered include optical FDM (frequency division multiplexing) transmission/distribution experiments; augmenting dense WDM with subcarrier multiplexing; the feasibility of distributing analog and digital video signals to 4096 subscribers; dense WDM component technology advances; and demultiplexing of WDM signals.<
