Abstract
By arranging a small number of arrayed-waveguide gratings in survivable topologies with specific interconnection patterns, we can construct passive optical networks with a high degree of protection. A variety of designs are presented that differ in the level of survivability, the protection mechanism, and the amount of required end-user equipment.
