Fiber amplifiers are used to compensate network losses. Each LAN is equipped with four fully engineered, microprocessor- controlled, absolute frequency stabilized subscriber stations. The interconnection is realized utilizing a full duplex star coupler as central node. A proposal to extend the realized network for frequency re-use is given.encompensationfibre lasersfrequency division multiplexingoptical fibre couplersoptical fibre lanoptical fibre lossesoptical fibre subscriber loopsoptical interconnectionstransparent all-optical interconnectionindependent experimental ofdm-lansone central nodeall-optical transparent interconnectionfiber amplifiersnetwork loss compensationfully engineeredmicroprocessor-controlledabsolute frequency stabilized subscriber stationsfull duplex star couplercentral nodefrequency re-userealized network extensionoptical frequency division multiplexing621535journal article
