Multi-flow optical transceiver, multi-flow optical transponder and multi-flow optical node

摘要

A multi-flow optical transceiver provided with a plurality of wavelength-tunable light sources, a plurality of optical modulation units which modulates light with an input signal, an optical multiplexing/demultiplexing switch which couples light from at least one of the wavelength-tunable light sources to at least one of the optical modulation units with any power, and an optical coupling unit which couples a plurality of lights, modulated by a plurality of the optical modulation units, to at least one waveguide.
