Determination of Transmission Routing of OXC Nodes Based on AWG Multiplexer by Matrix Transformation

The structures of the space switching and the wavelength switching optical cross connect (OXC)nodes which are based on the arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) multiplexer are analyzed. By the matrix transformation relation between the input and output wavelengths of the AWG multiplexer, the wavelength transmission routings of the space switching and wavelength switching OXC nodes are determined.     

Filling the frequency gaps of a planar optical spectrum analyzer using a 2.5-GHz-spaced arrayed-waveguide grating in the C and L bands

A vernier configuration in a 2.5-GHz-spaced 128-channel arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) for use as a secondary demultiplexer in a planar optical spectrum analyzer was incorporated with a tandem configuration. The frequency changes were 3.0 and 2.5 GHz for adjacent input and output ports, respectively. By selecting any of the eight input ports of the AWG, new passbands could be generated in the gaps between adjacent passbands and in the gaps produced when the diffraction order of the AWG was changed. Enough new passbands were generated to achieve frequency sampling at 1-GHz intervals without dead frequency points in the C and L bands of optical fiber amplifiers.

Integrated optics N*N multiplexer on silicon

The authors report the measured performance of an integrated N*N multiplexer fabricated using SiO/sub 2//Si waveguides. The insertion loss for N=7 was typically lower than 2.5 dB, and crosstalk was less than -25 dB. The multiplexer response is approximately periodic. In each period the multiplexer accepts, from each input waveguide, a total of N channels, and it efficiently transmits each channel to a particular output port. Similarly, each output port receives N channels, one from each input port. Thus, the total number of channels that can be transmitted simultaneously is N/sup 2/, which requires N optical frequencies.<>     

Transmission characteristics of arrayed waveguide N×Nwavelength multiplexer

To realize practical wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems, a high-performance N×N wavelength multiplexer is introduced that is based on an arrayed-waveguide grating. Its transmission characteristics are theoretically derived and experimentally confirmed. A prototype is constructed using the previously proposed techniques that attain low insertion loss and polarization independent operation. It has 16 channels (N=16) with a spacing of 0.8 mn, or 100 GHz, in the 1.55-μm band. Frequency relation between input and output ports, free spectral range, and passband width are determined. A demonstration of IM-DD pulse transmission shows that there is no degradation of bit error rate resulting from the finite passband width and crosstalk of the multiplexer. It is confirmed that the multiplexer can realize highly reliable N-channel WDM and WDM-based N×N interconnect optical networks     

Impact of crosstalk in an arrayed-waveguide router on an opticaladd-drop multiplexer

The impact of crosstalk in an arrayed-waveguide (AWG) router on the performance of an N-channel optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM), with m add/drop channels and n-pass channels is theoretically investigated. A single arrayed-waveguide router is simultaneously used for multiplexing and demultiplexing. This results in crosstalk not only from the incoming channels, but from the outgoing channels as well. We show that the performance of the OADM degrades as either N or m are increased, suggesting that the number of channels in a network based on OADM's is limited by crosstalk in the AWG router. When an optical filter is added at the output of the OADM the digital signal-to-noise ratio Q is independent of N and m, and within a few tenths of a decibel of the perfect filtering case     

Modeling of Multi-Input Arrayed Waveguide Grating and Its Application to Design of Flat-Passband Response Using Cascaded Mach–Zehnder Interferometers

We present a theoretical model of a multi-input arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) based on Fourier optics and apply the model to the design of a flattened passband response. This modeling makes it possible to systematically analyze spectral performance and to clarify the physical mechanisms of the multi-input AWG. The model suggested that the width of an input/output mode-field function and the number of waveguides in the array are important factors to flatten the response. We also developed a model for a novel AWG employing cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometers connected to the AWG input ports and numerically analyzed its optical performance to achieve low-loss, low-crosstalk, and flat-passband response. We demonstrated the usability of this model through investigations of filter performance. We also compared the filter spectrum given by this model with that given by simulation using the beam propagation method     

Super compact optical add-drop multiplexer for FTTH applications based on low-loss polymer waveguide materials

Four- and eight-channel arrayed-waveguide grating (AWG) and fixed optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) devices with channel spacing of 1200 and 600 GHz have been fabricated using super-high refractive index contrast (/spl Delta/n=0.020) triazine containing polymers. Accordingly, the size of the four-channel AWG was only 10/spl times/3 mm and the insertion loss was 3 dB.
