Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for bandwidth steering. Systems may include a plurality of compute nodes configured to execute one or more applications, a plurality of first level resources communicatively coupled to the plurality of compute nodes, a plurality of second level resources communicatively coupled to the plurality of first level resources, and a plurality of third level resources communicatively coupled to the plurality of second level resources. Systems may also include a plurality of optical switch circuits communicatively coupled to the plurality of first level resources and the plurality of second level resources, wherein each of the plurality of optical switch circuits is coupled to more than one of the plurality of the first level resources and is also coupled to more than one of the plurality of the second level resources.

Abstract: An optical communication system comprising a transmitter including a data register having a plurality of outputs, each output comprising a separate data channel, a plurality of signal processors, each signal processor corresponding to a data, a plurality of laser modules, each laser module coupled to an output of a corresponding signal processor, wherein each laser module modulates the modified signal from its corresponding data channel onto an optical carrier having a selected wavelength, and an optical multiplexer coupled to an output of all the laser modules.
