Abstract: Scalable and modular WDM systems to provide a number of processing functions which include, among others, signal detection, signal monitoring, wavelength conversion, signal regeneration, and generation of new WDM channels. Such WDM systems include a platform with an optical switching network and module slots for engaging WDM modules of different processing functions. Both protocol transparent and opaque WDM modules may be included in such a WDM system to provide versatile applications.
