Abstract
The all-optical transparent interconnection of two experimental OFDM-L AN's is demonstrated. Fiber amplifiers are used to compensate network losses. Each LAN is equipped with four fully engineered, microprocesso r-controlled, absolute frequency stabilized subscriber stations. The i nterconnection is realized utilizing a full duplex star coupler as cen tral node. A proposal to extend the realized network for frequency re- use is given.
