First sentence: With the explosive growth of the data network, optical-fiber technology employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) [Mukherjee, 1997, Ramaswami and Sivarajan, 1998, Stern and Bala, 1999] has been researched as well as commercially deployed as the technology that can satisfy our increasing bandwidth requirements because of its potentially limitless capabilities, e.g., huge bandwidth and low signal attenuation [Mukherjee, 2000].
