ON-CHIP RECONFIGURABLE METHOD OF SILICON-BASED OPTICAL TRANSCEIVER AND OPTICAL TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

Provided are an optical transmission apparatus and an optical reception apparatus. The optical transmission apparatus comprises a multiplexer which multiplexes N digital signals modulated through an optical modulator by using a laser having N wavelengths as a carrier signal, and outputs the multiplexed signals. The optical reception unit comprises a reverse multiplexer which divides a received optical signal into N optical signals having different wavelengths from each other through an optical filter. Therefore, an optical transmission and reception apparatus enabling wavelength control which can be the basis of network-on-chip can be developed, and the price competitiveness of an existing optical network apparatus can be significantly increased.
