Coherent and Incoherent Crosstalk in WDM Optical Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The impact of coherent and incoherent crosstalk on an optical signal passing through optical cross-connect nodes (OXC’s) in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks is studied, and the analytical expressions are given. Such crosstalk will be generated when the optical propagation delay differences of optical paths in an OXC do not exceed the coherent time of the lasers. While causing fluctuation of signal power, coherent crosstalk may cause noise or not, depending on the relationship between the optical propagation delay differences and the time duration of one bit of the signal. Incoherent crosstalk may cause very high noise power, because it can be a coherent combination of crosstalk contributions. The statistical impact of all crosstalk contributions on signal is studied by simulation, and the concept of quantile is proposed to relax the crosstalk specification requirement for components. The crosstalk specification requirements are then obtained for components used in WDM optical networks with different scales.

Impact 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...

Data transmission in optical systems and increased transmission distance capacity benefit by using optical amplification wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology. The combination of four waves (FWM) is a non-linear effect in the wavelength division multiplex (WDM), when more than two wavelengths of light in a fiber launch will occur.

We report a theoretical investigation of the crosstalk performance of photonic code-division multiple-access (CDMA) networks that are based on coherent matched filtering of optical pulses. We describe the importance of time gating in the reduction of noise in spread-time CDMA schemes.
