An experimental optical cross-connect

광상호분배기 실험 모델

The experimental optical cross-connect based on delivery and coupling switch features all-optical property. It consists of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, arrayedwaveguide gratings, optical switches and optical combiners. In 4 channel wavelength division multiplexing with 1.6 nm spacing, the difference in power level among channels for output signals from the optical cross-connect was within 2 dB.
