Abstract :
An optical frequency-division-multiplexed star network is analysed and demonstrated experimentally using two 45Mbit/s frequency-shift-keyed laser channels at 1.5 ¿m. A tunable fibre Fabry¿Perot filter is used as demultiplexer. The analysis predicts and experiment supports a minimum channel spacing of about six times bit rate B for a single FFP and 3B for a tandem FFP.
