All-Fiber Optical Add-Drop Multiplexer Using a Pair of Fiber Grating Couplers

A new all-fiber optical add-drop multiplexer (ADM) using a pair of fiber grating couplers (FGCs) was proposed and first demonstrated. It was theoretically and experimentally shown that both drop and add efficiencies could be maximized in the proposed ADM. It was also clarified that the crosstalk between dropped and added signals could be improved in the proposed ADM compared with that in the single FGC. Drop and add operations in the ADM for 3-channel WDM signals with 1.6 nm wavelength spacing were confirmed. The ADM with signal amplification ability, which consists of a pair of FGCs, an EDF, and a pump-LD, was proposed and demonstrated. It was confirmed that the dropped and transmitted optical signals could be amplified in the ADM, and would be able to expand fiber routing spans.     

An ASE Reduction Filter Using Cascaded Optical Fiber Grating Couplers in EDFA Repeater

A new configuration for an ASE reduction filter in EDFA repeaters for WDM optical transmission systems using optical fiber grating couplers (FGCs) was proposed and first demonstrated. The filtering characteristics of the proposed filter for amplified single wavelength signal and 2-channel WDM signals using EDFA were identified. It was found that the filter was effective to improve SNR in optical domain by reducing ASE noise. The required FGC characteristics for the filter were theoretically predicted under the condition that the total filter loss did not exceed 3 dB. More than 70% of drop efficiency was required in each FGC for the application of the proposed filter to an 8-channel WDM system using EDFA repeaters.

Wavelength and power monitoring of DWDM systems using scanning F–P filter calibrated with a F–P laser

A novel technique to overcome the long-term drift and hysteresis of a scanning Fabry–Perot filter was developed and applied to wavelength and power monitoring of DWDM system. By using the comb peaks generated by a temperature-stabilized, near threshold-biased Fabry–Perot diode laser as wavelength reference for the scanning Fabry–Perot filter, wavelength and power measurement accuracy of better than ±10 pm and 0.2 dB, respectively, were achieved.     

Sixth moment optimization of multi-channel Bragg filters

The design of multichannel optical filter is studied theoretically. New efficient two-step method based on combination of 6-th moment minimization and straightforward numerical minimization is developed. It is applied to find a fiber Bragg grating profile with minimal refractive index variation for 5 ÷ 32 channels. Obtained results are closer to the theoretical limit than previously reported.     

Generic routing and wavelength assignment algorithm for a wavelength-routed WDM network

In this paper, we have developed a simple mathematical model which is used for the calculation of blocking probability of network. A generic routing and wavelength assignment algorithm has also been proposed for the optimization and minimization of blocking probability. The implementation of the proposed model has less complexity and the computation used in this model is quite efficient. This paper suggests an optimum path and assigns wavelength to that path, as a solution to routing and wavelength assignment problem to have least blocking probability. This model can be implemented on different network topologies. Further, the model is also used to evaluate the blocking performance of a 6-node simple network topology and hence used to improve its performance on the basis of blocking probability.     

Routing and wavelength assignment algorithms for multiclass WDM optical networks

In this paper dynamic routing and wavelength assignment strategies have been proposed for multiclass WDM optical networks. Multiclass optical networks provide multiple classes of services to the subscriber according to the requirement, which in turn increase operational profitability. Each class of service could be characterized by parameters like number of wavelengths, expected call holding time and average arrival rate of request. The proposed strategies have been analyzed and compared with existing strategies on the basis of blocking probabilities for multiclass traffic scenarios. Simulation results on different network topologies demonstrate that the performance of proposed strategies “Fixed shortest/alternate shortest path routing with wavelength reservation (FSASWR)” and “Fixed alternate shortest path routing with least priority wavelength assignment (FASPL)” are much better as compared to existing strategies. Proposed strategies minimize blocking probability of the multiclass network using limited number of wavelengths.     

Blocking in wavelength-routed all-optical WDM networks

In this paper, we have developed a low complexity mathematical model which is used for the calculation of blocking probability of network and this model does not require any simulation statistics. The implementation of the model proposed has less complexity and the computation used in this model is quite efficient. This paper suggests an optimum path as a solution to routing problem and the appropriate number of wavelengths have also been suggested which should be free in a network to have the least blocking probability. This model can be implemented on different network topologies. Further, the model is also used to evaluate the blocking performance of NSFNet topology and hence used to improve its performance on the basis of blocking probability.
