Introduction: The ever-increasing bandwidth requirement and accommodation of the transmission of large volume of data are stimulating the research of finding a high-speed optical transmission network solution. High-speed optical transmission can provide the most reliable and cost-effective solution to this emerging necessity. The rapid growth of traffic over optical network makes the necessity of 100 Gb/s optical network backbone mandatory. 1 Gb/s Ethernet is common in Local Area Network nowadays. It can serve individual user’s workstation data needs perfectly. This bandwidth will remain sufficient for single user’s need for next few decades. However, the scenario in data centers and servers are different; Cisco, one of the pioneers in networking device manufacturers, estimates the expansion of data traffic in global datacenters over the next five years-with the current yearly growth rate of about 30%, the data traffic would become four times larger in next five years. To facilitate this enormous data traffic large capacity, high-speed optical backbone is essential. This drama...
