9453316应进行威尔纳光通信研究，分析波分复用(WDM)的基本性能。这项工作将包括：1)定义在采用掺铒光纤放大器(EDFA)的系统中的最佳系统准则；2)研究系统配置中的全光波长漂移。支助期间要解决的教育问题包括编写一本讨论波分复用光通信系统的教科书，以及开发一门科学领导力课程。***

9453316 Willner Optical communications research shall be undertaken in which the fundamental capabilities of wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) will be analyzed. This work will include 1) the definition of optimal systems guidelines in systems employing Er-doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA's) and 2) the study of all-optical wavelength shifing in a systems configuration. Educational issues to be addressed during the period of support include the preparation of a text-book discussing WDM Optical Communications Systems, and the development of a scientific leadership course. ***
