A hybrid transmissive star coupler incorporating fiber amplifiers for wavelength-division multiplexed/frequency-division multiplexed (WDM/FDM) networks is proposed. It is found that the total fiber length and conduit length required for this hybrid star coupler/network can be reduced tremendously compared with either the centralized or the distributed cases. Furthermore, this coupler is easier to construct and more cost-effective. >
