Abstract:
In the examples provided herein, a system has a plurality of arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) having a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. A signal within a given wavelength channel transmitted to one of the input ports of a given AWG is routed to one of the output ports of the given AWG based on a signal wavelength. The system also has a plurality of nodes, with each node comprising a set of components for each AWG that the node is coupled to. Each set of components comprises a plurality of optical transmitters, where each optical transmitter is tunable over multiple wavelength channels within a different wavelength band; a band multiplexer to multiplex the multiple wavelength channels within each different wavelength band; and a first output fiber to couple an output of the band multiplexer to one of the input ports of a first AWG.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 7 ,\n wherein the first node and the second node are part of a first set of nodes, wherein each node of the first set of nodes comprises:\n a plurality of optical transmitters, wherein each optical transmitter is tunable over multiple wavelength channels within a different wavelength band; \n a band multiplexer to multiplex the multiple wavelength channels within each different wavelength band; \n a band demultiplexer to demultiplex the multiple wavelength channels within each different wavelength band; \n a plurality of receivers to receive wavelengths of light within the different wavelength bands from the band demultiplexer; \n an output fiber coupled to an output of the band multiplexer and coupled to one of the input ports of the first AWG; and \n an input fiber coupled to an input to the band demultiplexer and coupled to one of the output ports of the first AWG, \n wherein the second node and the third node are part of a second set of nodes, wherein each node of the second set of nodes comprises:\n a plurality of optical transmitters, wherein each optical transmitter is tunable over multiple wavelength channels within a different wavelength band; \n a band multiplexer to multiplex the multiple wavelength channels within each different wavelength band; \n a band demultiplexer to demultiplex the multiple wavelength channels within each different wavelength band; \n a plurality of receivers to receive wavelengths of light within the different wavelength bands from the band demultiplexer; \n an output fiber coupled to an output of the band multiplexer and coupled to one of the input ports of the second AWG; \n an input fiber coupled to an input to the band demultiplexer and coupled to one of the output ports of the second AWG.
