Abstract:
Embodiment of present invention provide an optical interconnect apparatus. The apparatus includes an optical signal path; a first set of pigtail fibers attached to a first end of the optical signal path via a first wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) filter; and a second set of pigtail fibers attached to a second end of the optical signal path via a second WDM filter. Embodiment of present invention further provide an interconnected optical system that includes a first optical transport terminal having a first set of optical signal ports and a second optical transport terminal having a second set of optical signal ports, with the two sets of optical signal ports being interconnected by the optical interconnect apparatus.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical interconnect apparatus comprising:\n an optical signal path having a first and a second end and having only one optical path connecting the first and second ends; a first wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) filter having a first end of two or more input ports and a second end of a single output port; a second WDM filter having a first end of a single input port and a second end of two or more output ports; and a first set of two or more pigtail fibers attached to the two or more input ports of the first end of the first WDM filter, the single output port of the second end of the first WDM filter attached to the first end of the optical signal path, the second end of the optical signal path attached to the single input port of the first end of the second WDM filter, and the two or more output ports of the second end of the second WDM filter attached to a second set of two or more pigtail fibers, wherein two or more optical signals are adapted to propagate from the first set of two or more pigtail fibers into the first end of the first WDM filter, to propagate subsequently from the second end of the first WDM filter into the first end of the optical signal path, to propagate subsequently from the second end of the optical signal path into the first end of the second WDM filter, and to propagate subsequently from the second end of the second WDM filter into the second set of two or more pigtail fibers.
