Passive optical network architecture based on waveguide grating routing.

Passive optical network architecture based on waveguide grating routing.

We explore an optical network architecture which employs dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology and passive waveguide grating routers (WGRs) to establish a virtual topology based on lightpath communication. We examine the motivation and the technical challenges involved in this appr...
