Abstract :
This paper proposes an optical local area network that can transmit terabit-class bulk-data with low latency in a dynamic manner. A group of wavelengths is assigned to bulk-data transmission according to the latency requirement, and parallel WDM signals are transmitted with bit-phase synchronization mechanism after fast provisioning.
