Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a new survivable dense wavelengthโdivision multiplexing/subcarrier multiplexing (DWDM/SCM) network based on the starโbusโring architecture (SBRA). This architecture ensures an OBIโfree optical network, and can serve tremendous subscribers. In addition, remote nodes and bidirectional wavelength add/drop multiplexers (BโWADMs) are designed by using simple optical switches to reconfigure the network under link failure. We further set up an experimental network to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed architecture.โยฉ 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 32: 51โ56, 2002.
