Abstract
We explore an optical network architecture which employs dense WDM technology and passive Waveguide Grating Routers (WGRs) to establish a virtual topology based on lightpaths. We examine the motivation and the technical challenges involved in this approach, propose a network design algorithm, and provide some illustrative performance results
