EXPERIMENTAL DEMONSTRATION OF RECONFIGURABLE AND SIMULTANEOUS WAVELENGTH-DIVISION-MULTIPLEXED MULTIPLE-PLANE OPTICAL INTERCONNECTIONS

We report the first experimental demonstration of using wavelength-div ision-multiplexing and wavelength-selective-detection to facilitate ei ther reconfigurable or simultaneous optical interconnections between o ne source plane and many detector planes, We show the 10(-9) BER, 155 Mb/s transmission and detection of three different wavelength-multiple xed signals at three detector planes. The reconfigurable interconnecti on is established with a wavelength separation of 10 nm, and the simul taneous interconnection is established with a wavelength separation of 43 nm.
