Abstract :
A new optical VPN configuration is proposed for implementation on a WDM PON that uses wavelength routers with multi stage AWGs. The proposed configuration offers the features of scalability and network security. The configuration is verified in terms of wavelength function by using the wavelength transfer matrix method. Network size, or scalability, is discussed by considering the optical power budget. Experiments also show the feasibility of the configuration.
