Dans la présente demande, un premier signal optique est divisé en X signaux de gamme d'ondes, de sorte qu'un appareil de commutation de signaux optiques puisse envoyer directement différents signaux de gamme d'ondes à différents récepteurs, sans avoir besoin d'effectuer de conversion optique-électrique, ce qui réduit le retard de communication entre un émetteur et un récepteur.
