Optical Add/Drop Multiplexer with Asymmetric Bandwidth Allocation and Dispersion Compensation for Hybrid 10-Gb/s and 40-Gb/s DWDM Transmission

摘要

We experimentally demonstrate a novel OADM having asymmetric bandwidth to optimally support hybrid 10-Gb/s and 40-Gb/s DWDM transmission with 50-GHz spacing. 10-Gb/s RZ-OOK and 40-Gb/s DPSK signals are passed through multiple OADMs with moderate penalty.
