Abstract

Summary form only given. For bandwidth-on-demand service, network operators should be able to dynamically assign the wavelength and flexibly partition the whole bandwidth capacity. We report in this paper, the time-sharing operation of coherent transmissions with integrated transceivers using a two-fiber architecture. Based on our results, it is possible to implement a coherent access network that allows users to share the full bandwidth of the system.
