Abstract
Among the different structures envisaged for a high capacity Pan European Network, a partitioned approach seeks to partition the network into "WDM islands", where traffic is carried by many 2 5 or 10 Gbit/s systems, interconnected by trunks where one or few WDM channels operate in OTDM at higher bit rates, as sketched in fig 1 In order to directly connect the high speed OTDM links to the WDM islands, an high throughput all optical transmultiplexer, i.e a bidirectional interface between OTDM and WDM data streams and viceversa, is required
