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 13):
The method of  claim 12 , wherein the goal is to save power by shutting down unneeded nodes and re-routing traffic from the unneeded nodes to other nodes, and further wherein causing each tunable transmitter to emit a particular wavelength channel based on a goal comprises causing each tunable transmitter to emit wavelength channels that are not routed by the plurality of AWGs to the unneeded nodes, and causing each tunable transmitter at the unneeded nodes to stop emitting.
