Abstract: |
This program creates a multi-wavelength nodes for LAN networks (WDM Nodes), based on modular WDM Engines. The WDM Node has an integrated fully non-blocking cross-point switch to route any input to any output (any-to-any) with a throughput latency of less than 1 nanosecond. The WDM Node will route 10 Gbps data between optical input/output ports and local electrical I/O ports, with 250 mW of power/channel. The network functionality includes: wavelength switching, channel switching (same wavelength, different port), signal restoration (repeater) and add/drop to the local node. We will initially target a mesh network (with north, south, east, west, and local ports), however the design is scalable to higher-dimensions by increasing the number of WDM Engines. |
Benefits: |
Significant reduction in the costs associated with fielding and maintaining WDM LAN networks on avionic platforms. |
