The tremendous growth in broadband communication services, brought about by the phenomenal expansion of the Internet, has triggered an unprecedented demand for bandwidth in telecommunication networks. Optical fibre communication technology has kept up with the growing bandwidth demand by exploiting wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology. WDM is now beginning to expand from a network core technology towards the metropolitan and access networks with the goal of bringing the benefit of cost and network efficiencies of the optical networking revolution to the end users. The advent of metropolitan WDM networks has motivated the work in this thesis to develop new devices and design methods in order to reduce cost and improve network performance.
