Summary :

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical switching networks are one of most attractive technologies in optical interconnections. By combining with time-division multiplexing (TDM) and space-division multiplexing (SDM) technologies, remarkably high-throughput interconnections may be accomplished. In this paper, we propose WDM switching networks with time-division multiplexed optical signals by using free-space optics. We also propose novel WDM interconnections, including multiple-wavelength light-sources, optical fibers and wavelength-selectable detectors. We successfully confirmed basic principles for the WDM interconnections.
