Abstract
A plurality of M receivers are utilized to receive a plurality of N channels from various incoming multiplexed data signals, N.gtoreq.M, where each incoming data signal arrives on a separate wavelength and comprises several channels. Each of the M receivers, in sequence, receives a separate one of the N channels, thereby M of the N channels. The process then repeats for the next M channels, in the same sequence as the first M channels. The repetitions continue until all N channels are received.
