Experimental demonstration of MOSAIC: a multiwavelength optical subcarrier multiplexed controlled network

Summary form only given. In this paper, we believe we present for the first time, results on the demonstration of our MOSAIC network. MOSAIC is a reconfigurable add/drop multiwavelength network that may be connected in a ring or bus fashion with digitally transparent lightpaths over multiple links and wavelengths. A three-node, 50-km WDM ring network with a multichannel add-drop multiplexer (ADM) and a single channel tunable ADM was demonstrated.
