| Acronym: ATLAS |
| Main Objective: In the ATLAS project fibre-optic WDM transmission over 500-1,000 km with an aggregate capacity around 1 Tbit/s is investigated by adopting return-to-zero signal formats and dispersion management techniques, without resorting to intermediate regeneration. Different network architectures using All Optical Wavelength Converters (AOWC) are currently under investigation. This project aims to assess the problems encountered when high capacity fibre transmission is associated with an intermediate AOWC, namely the allowed maximum signal distortion at the AOWC input and output, given that the signal will be further propagated down the rest of the link. |
