Abstract
A wavelength division multiplexing structure for establishing dedicated high bit rate point-to-point connections between network nodes is disclosed. The information transmitted out of any given network node is modulated on a plurality of wavelengths according to destination. These wavelengthds are multiplexed and transmitted to the network hub. At the hub, all the different wavelengths from all the nodes are demultiplexed, passively rearranged, multiplexed again and transmitted to the appropriate destinations. The information handling capacity of this structure exceeds 1 Terabit/second.
