| Abstract | Dominant broadband access technologies today are Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks. DSL leads, with global subscribers exceeding 100 million, while cable-modem subscribers worldwide total 55 million in 2005 [1]. Recently, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) scenarios are also on the rise. In all these access networks, optical fiber plays an imperative role. Fiber carries multimedia signals such as video, audio and Internet data with a combination of subcarrier multiplexed radio over fiber (SCM-ROF) and digital baseband formats. Despite the IPTV hype, the most bandwidth hungry video (especially HDTV) is predominantly transmitted in SCM-ROF format. In addition, wireless broadband multimedia access using the ROF technique is also on the rise. Newly released 71-76 GHz, 81-86 GHz, and 92-95 GHz bands for wireless multimedia delivery will trigger wide deployment of ROF technology. Therefore, ROF plays key role in both wired and wireless broadband multimedia access networks [2]. However, there are number of issues in the design and deployment of ROF links for multimedia access. Nonlinearity of the optical modulator (either direct or external); loss due to electrical-optical-electrical conversion and increasing intensity noise are key concerns. Some of our recent work involves with adaptive digital nonlinearity and noise cancelation [3], optical domain reduction in unmodulated carrier [4] and all optical de-multiplexing of closely spaced RF signals by Bragg grating filters [5] and multi system signals over fiber [6]. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
