Abstract :
POIMS Net is a passive optical network that combines time-, space-, and wavelength-division techniques to field network capacities far beyond 100 Gb/s. We describe its concept, practical implementation with an arrayed-waveguide-grating router, and application to the ATM switching fabric.
