Crosstalk Analysis of Multiwavelength Optical Cross Connects
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the results of a crosstalk analysis of four optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) cross-connect (OXC) topologies. An optimal set of parameters is determined to reduce the total crosstalk. The scalability of the topologies is presented in terms of wavelengths and input fibers. The total crosstalk in function of the number of cascaded OXC’s is compared for the four topologies.

Performance Evaluation of Optical Cross-Connects by Saddlepoint Approximation
The impact of in-band crosstalk on the transmission performance of optical cross-connects, incorporating (de)multiplexers and space switches, is studied. A statistical description of the receiver decision variable that yields a performance analysis in good agreement with experiment is given. Bit error rate and power penalties are calculated using the so-called saddlepoint approximation which is...
متن کاملScalability of an All-optical Multiwavelength Slotted- ring Metropolitan Area Network
In this paper simulation results of the bit error rate (BER) performance of an all-optical multiwavelength slotted-ring metropolitan area network (MAN) are presented. The simulation results provide insight into the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation as the optical ring is scaled up in terms of the number of access points on it. The results also enable us to understand the effect of inband ...
متن کاملImpact of Coherent and Incoherent Crosstalks and Power Penalty on the Optical Crossconnects
Optical cross-connects are one of the most important components in the dense wavelength division multiplexer based optical networks. The crossconnects suffer from crosstalk due to the different wavelength light path channels during the switching process leading to the deterioration in bit error rate (BER) and hence in the system performance. This paper presents the study of impact of coherent a...
متن کاملTunable fibre Bragg grating based optical cross connects using multi-port optical circulators: structure and crosstalk analyses
Tunable fibre Bragg grating (FBG)-based reconfigureably non-blocking optical cross connect (OXC) using multi-port optical circulators (MOCs) are proposed and presented. In an FBG–MOC-based OXC, system insertion loss, system differential insertion loss together with OXC dimensions have been analysed and compared with FBG–OC-based OXC structure using three-port optical circulators (OCs). Optical ...
متن کاملElimination of All-Optical Cycles in Wavelength-Routed Optical Networks
A transparent (wide-area) wavelength-routed optical network may be constructed by using wavelength cross-connect switches connected together by fiber to form an arbitrary mesh structure. The network is accessed through electronic stations that are attached to some of these cross-connects. These wavelength cross-connect switches have the property that they may configure themselves into unspecifi...
