Abstract
Methods and apparatus are contemplated for multiplexing and de-multiplexing modulated optical signals using dispersion. Optical signals comprising a wavelength-multiplexed plurality of modulated spectra may be additionally multiplexed and de-multiplexed using dispersion. Dispersion multiplexing may be used in the simultaneous two-way propagation of optical signals over a waveguide.
