Abstract
High-density wavelength-division multiplexing (HDWDM) has been extensively studied for high-data-capacity network applications related to broadband services, computer interconnects, and telecommunications.1 Most published networks rely on associating a DFB laser with each node to identify a signal source. In the cost-sensitive area of interconnects, it is important to perform the same function with simpler components. We show that a 10-node, 10-Gbit/s LAN can be constructed by using one pump laser, one erbium-doped fiber, and 10 Bragg-fiber gratings.2
