Abstract :
A new channel selection sequence using a neural control WDM demultiplexer is proposed in packet-switched WDM network. This demultiplexer achieves demultiplexing through an electrically controlled neuro-circuit, thereby achieving fast tuning. In the tuning experiment for optical signals at three different wavelengths, tuning is completed in approximately 20 μs. The channel switching function is also examined by experimentation.
