An interconnection method for transmissive stars is presented that permits the fabrication of
arbitrarily large stars from elementary ones. Being free from multiple-path interference, this …

Optical metropolitan/wide area networks with arbitrary topology usually require optical
amplifiers to compensate for the fiber attenuation and splitting loss introduced by the star …

New notations using the wavelength transfer matrix for wavelength circuits and networks are
proposed. The method is a simple and effective in expressing and analyzing complicated …

Collision detection (CD) is easy to implement in baseband coaxial CSMA/CD networks, but
is a formidable design challenge in optical fiber implementations. Seven different methods …
