Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to discuss OTDM-WDM system components modeling.Any attempt to model the OTDM-WDM system components would need to take into account a number of key issues that have to be decided upon before a particular system setup can be implemented. Among the key issues are signal modulation format, OTDM channel bit rate, WDM channel bit rate, spectral density, length of transmission, amplification scheme, dispersion management scheme, and optical devices. Further, throughout the chapter, examples are used to demonstrate how OTDM-WDM devices, such as the transmitter, multiplexer, optical fiber, filter, amplifier, demultiplexer, and receiver, are modeled.
