ABSTRACT:
A multi-wavelength optical communication system includes a number of emitters each of which emits radiation at a different wavelength; a plurality of the detectors each of which senses radiation at a different wavelength corresponding to the radiation from one of the emitters and a shared waveguide including a scattering medium to transmit emitted radiation to the detectors.
