Optical Networking Beyond WDM

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) has been the workhorse of data networks, accommodating exponential traffic growth for two decades. Recently, however, progress in WDM capacity research has markedly slowed down as experiments are closely approaching fundamental Shannon limits of nonlinear fiber...
