Abstract
STARNET is a 2.5-Gbit/s/wavelength (half duplex) reconfigurable optical WDM computer-communication network that uses a 125-Mbit/s FDDI-compatible logical ring subnetwork for control information.1 STARNET uses combined modulation to transmit both control information and wideband pay-load data (over the reconfigurable logical network) with a single transmitter. Separate receivers are used to recover the control information and the payload data. In Experiment A, we demonstrated the use of a DFB semiconductor laser to transmit two data streams (network-control information and payload data) by using combined FSK/ASK modulation.
