  • Abstract
    The letter describes a wavelength-division-multiplexing structure to establish point-to-point connectivity of high-speed channels between network nodes. The information-handling capacity of the network exceeds 1 Tbit/s, which can only be duplicated otherwise by a complete fibre mesh structure. A small-scale experimental system with two transmitting nodes and two receiving nodes, each with two wavelengths, is reported.
