A tunable 16 optical channel transmission/distribution experiment at 2 Gb/s and 600 Mb/s for broadband subscriber distribution

Describes the first experiment demonstrating 16-optical-channel single-mode fiber transmission/distribution with tunable channel selection. Based on high-density WDM and tunable optical etalons, 16 2-Gb/s channels (32 Gb/s total) can be distributed to the subscribers for selection. For future B-ISDN (broadband integrated services digital network) applications such tunable multichannel broadband distribution technology is of great interest.<
