Abstract

After briefly recalling the recent history of optical communication, this paper describes the structure of aWDM system, the critical parameters involved in its design, the different degradations which the transmitted signal suffers from, the state of the art and the future evolutions ofWDM transmission technology. Some recent results are given to illustrate the best results obtained in the research laboratories.

Résumé

Après un bref rappel de l’histoire de la transmission optique, cet article décrit la structure d’un système de transmission utilisant le multiplexage en longueur d’onde, les paramètres critiques, les dégradations subies par le signal, l’état de l’art et les évolutions futures. Quelques résultats récents sont donnés en fin d’article pour illustrer les meilleures performances obtenues à ce jour dans les laboratoires.
