| Abstract | Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is currently introduced worldwide into existing optical communication systems for capacity enhancement. OADM (optical add/drop multiplex) nodes are key elements of such systems, assuring network survivability by fast reconfiguration and enabling add/drop of WDM channels. OADM nodes comprising a variety of different OADM devices are developed within the ACTS project METON (Metropolitan Optical Network) for operation and comparative analysis in the Stockholm Gigabit Network. The paper will compare various OADM devices, highlight recent achievements, and discuss the potential and the limitations of the different approaches. The presentation comprises arrayed waveguides, Bragg gratings in fibers and in SiO/sub 2//Si waveguides, advanced InP-based interferometric structures and grating-assisted couplers. The advanced approaches will be discussed in detail and their characteristics will be compared to that of standard, commercially available OADMs such as Fabry-Perot interferometers or bulk optics. Cascading of SiO/sub 2//Si arrayed waveguide WDMs with a -3-dB passband of 1 nm has been tested in a recirculating loop at 10 Gbit/s. More than 40 WDMs could be passed before a significant penalty was introduced. |

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.
