tunable wavelength router wavelength routing cascade wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) insertion losses
摘要
Abstract
Tunable wavelength routers (TWRs) for multiple wavelength selection are key devices in dynamic wavelength-routing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks. In this paper, by cascading conventional 2×2 TWRs, a new 1×K TWR is proposed for large-scale dynamic wavelength-routing WDM networks. When the cascading numbers are smaller, the 1×K TWR can be directly applied to networking WDM networks. When the cascading numbers are larger, the 1×K TWR can be carried out by the integrating method and be extensively used to networking various multi-wavelength optical networks by the way of “EDFA+TWR”. Though the cascading method proposed is based on the acousto-optic TWRs, it can be also applied to cascading other kinds of TWRs.
