Summary form only given. High-speed wavelength division multi-access (WDMA) ring and bus networks are very promising architectures to support multi-access of high-capacity data. Most WDMA networks are configured with fixed transmitter and tunable receiver (FTTR) and employ decentralized light sources. However, they require complicated control signaling and suffer from a wavelength matching problem. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a practical WDMA ring/bus packet network node using tunable transmitter and fixed receiver (TTFR) configuration. Centralized light sources are used and time slot access is controlled by our proposed signaling scheme.
