Novel Full-Cycle-Coupler-Based Optical Add–Drop Multiplexer and Performance Characteristics at 40-Gb/s WDM Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 coupler waist is also proposed for use in to the device design and development. The performance of the device is characterized at 40-Gb/s wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) networks using theoretical systems simulations and is compared directly with other alternative OADM architectures.

Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer Based on Fiber Bragg Gratings for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Networks
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 comp...

Current optical networks are migrating to wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)-based fiber transport between traditional electronic multiplexers/demultiplexers, routers, and switches. Passive optical add–drop WDM networks have emerged but an optical data network that makes full use of the technologies of dynamic optical routing and switching exists only in experimental test-beds. This paper w...
متن کاملBidirectional Multiwavelength Ring Networks: Performance Analysis and Experimental Studies
High-capacity multiwavelength ring networks with bidirectional WDM add/drop multiplexer (WADM) is analyzed and demonstrated. All channels can be added/ dropped independently in each direction. The capacity of a bidirectional ring is found to be approximately twice that of an unidirectional ring. An eight-wavelength WADM is demonstrated for a data rate of 10 Gb/s per channel, providing an overal...
متن کاملA Novel Fine Tunable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer
We propose a novel tunable optical add/drop multiplexer, based on Asymmetric Bragg Coupler and the liquid crystal as the active layer. Such device provides the features of small size, wide tuning range, narrow channel bandwidth, low electric power, high tuning speed, and simple control mechanisms. The transmission bandwidth is about 32.5GHz and the tunable range is about 250GHz.

Wireless coverage of the end-user domain; be it outdoors or indoors, is poised to become an essential part of broadband communication networks. In order to offer integrated broadband services (combining voice, data, video, multimedia services, and new value added services), systems will need to offer higher data transmission capacities. The need for increased capacity per unit area leads to hig...
