Abstract: L'invention concerne une nouvelle architecture pour former un brasseur optique dans des réseaux à multiplexage par répartition en longueur d'onde. La valeur de réseaux optiques comportant des brasseurs tout optiques est généralement associée à la possibilité d'acheminer, de manière sélective, des longueurs d'ondes de canaux individuels à travers plusieurs noeuds sans effectuer de conversion optique-électrique et électrique-optique. Sur le plan du réseau, la majorité des travaux sur les architectures de brasseurs optiques se sont concentrés sur les moyens d'obtenir la capacité la plus élevée possible pour le brasseur optique lui-même. Cependant, le fait de prendre en considération uniquement les architectures de brasseurs optiques, sans prêter attention au reste du réseau, entraîne l'utilisation d'un matériel inutilement compliqué. L'architecture selon l'invention considère le réseau dans son ensemble et permet d'obtenir une réduction importante en termes de coût et de complexité.
