About this document
WDM Network Design Overview by Pritam Roy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The key network elements that enable optical networking are optical line terminals (OLTs), optical add/drop multiplexers (OADMs), and optical crossconnects (OXCs). An OLT multiplexes and demultiplexes wavelengths on a fiber. An OADM selectively drops and adds wavelengths on a fiber. An OXC performs similar switching functions but at a larger scale with more ports. There are different architectures for OADMs including parallel, modular, serial, and band drop. WDM network design involves determining the light
