Abstract
An optical transmitter may generate a first optical signal having a first wavelength and a second optical signal having a second wavelength. The optical transmitter may output the first and second optical signals to a link without performing a multiplexing operation. The optical transmitter may output part of the first optical signal to the link while part of the second optical signal is being output to the link. An optical receiver may receive the first and second optical signals, via the link, as separate optical signals. The optical receiver may receive part of the first optical signal from the link while part of the second optical signal is being received from the link. The optical receiver may provide the first and second optical signals to a photodetector array that includes a first photodetector to detect the first optical signal and a second photodetector to detect the second optical signal.
