چکیده
A configurable optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) based on fibre Bragg gratings is reported. Dynamically selection of the add-drop or pass-through functionality is realised according to the control of an optical switch. The OADM performance measurement realised in a 70 km, 3 × 2.5 Gb/s channels dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) experimental network are reported and the results compared with simulated ones. The OADM tolerance to channel spacing and detuning were also studied.

Optical Add Drop Multiplexer (OADM) Based on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Technology in Next Generation Optical Networks
The OADM based on DWDM technology is moving the telecommunications industry significantly closer to the development of optical networks. The OADM can be placed between two end terminals along any route and be substituted for an optical amplifier. Commercially available OADMs allow carriers to drop and/or add up to multi channels between DWDM terminals. By deploying an OADM instead of an optical...

A novel configuration of an interferometric device, based on a full-cycle full (100%) coupler structure, loaded with a Bragg grating symmetrically placed into the uniform coupler waist, is proposed for use as an optical add–drop multiplexer (OADM) with simultaneously optimized add and drop actions. A general method for designing a suitable Bragg grating for optimal inscription in to the uniform...
متن کاملDispersion of Cascaded Fiber Gratings in WDM Lightwave Systems
Fiber gratings operating in the transmission mode can provide high dispersion at wavelengths close to the Bragg resonance. When multiple gratings are cascaded for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) applications, the net dispersion between the stop bands of any two consecutive gratings is significantly modified. We discuss the dispersion characteristics of such cascaded fiber gratings and pr...

متن کاملCoupled-mode analysis of fiber-optic add drop filters for dense wavelength-division multiplexing.
We present a coupled-mode theory of fiber-optic add-drop filters, which involve directional coupling between two fibers combined with fiber Bragg gratings defined inside the coupling region. The analysis self-consistently accounts for both the directional and the reflection coupling, and the propagation constants and structure of the supermodes of the combined structure are derived. We present ...
