  • Abstract
    Diverse routing of wavelength division multiplexed signals is demonstrated in one transmission path of a wavelength routed star network operating in the 1.5 mu m transmission window at 650 Mbit/s. The network is demonstrated with six wavelengths accessing four output paths from the central node. Route switching of high wavelength channels is achieved using aluminium co-doped erbium fibre amplifiers.
