ABSTRACT:
An optical router is disclosed having at least one frequency router. The frequency router includes a plurality of input ports and a plurality of output ports. At least one input port simultaneously receives at least two optical signals to be frequency routed, while at least one output port simultaneously presents at least two frequency routed optical signals. Each optical signal to be frequency routed is colored in response to destination information.
