Photonic multihop bus networks
Abstract
The photonic bus network (PBNet) approach to the design of small backbone networks is considered. The basic building block of PBNets consist of a linear multihop network interconnected in a bidirectional bus virtual topology using point-to-point optical channels. The system is designed to exploit transmissive optical star technology employing multichannel coherent lightwave modulation, but a wavelength-division implementation is also possible. …
