Abstract

This paper describes the evolution history of the Photonic Network, and highlights our recent research activities on Photonic Multi-Protocol Label Switching and ultra-wideband transmission technologies. The Photonic Multi-protocol Label Switching technology, one of the hottest research area, can be extended to provide optical burst-by-burst data switching. The novel optical modulation technology and multi-optical carrier generation technology based on Supercontinuum light sources will be the key to create bandwidth abundant ultra-large capacity wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission.
