TLDR
A new technique that allows for modular expansion of strictly transparent wavelength interchangeable cross-connect utilizing parametric wavelength converters based on four-wave mixing or difference frequency generation is reported on.Abstract:
We report on a new technique that allows for modular expansion of strictly transparent wavelength interchangeable cross-connect utilizing parametric wavelength converters based on four-wave mixing or difference frequency generation. The proposed technique results in cost effective cross connect architectures with fewer components than other frequently proposed designs. It will be shown that employing FWM-based converters results in reconfigurable and simple to fabricate architectures.read more

TL;DR: In this article, an architectural approach for very high-capacity wide-area optical networks is presented, and a proposed program of research to address key system and device issues is described, where a distributed optical interconnect that is wavelength-selective and electronically controllable, permitting the same limited set of wavelengths to be reused among other access stations, is employed.
