<p>A network with nodes interconnected by optical fiber links carrying an optical communication channel having a single optical wavelength. In the network, at least two network nodes operate as transmitting nodes generating a first short pulse optical signal at different bit rates; at least one of the other network nodes operates as a receiving node and is designated to receive transmissions from at least one of the transmitting nodes via the optical channel in a form of a second short pulse optical signal. The receiving node is provided with a dispersion compensation module adapted to compensate dispersion created in the optical fiber along the optical channel between a specific transmitting node and the receiving node, thereby ensuring receipt, in a restored form, of data transmitted using the second optical signal and directed to the receiving node.</p> |
