Experimental investigation of wavelength-tunable WADM and OXC devices using strain-tunable fiber Bragg gratings

Two reconfigurable wavelength add/drop multiplexer (WADM) and optical cross-connect (OXC) devices based on strain-tunable fiber Bragg gratings (ST-FBGs) are proposed. The feasibility of WADM is verified by measuring the bit-error-rate performance of the dropped (cross-connect) and pass-through (no c...

Zusammenfassung:	Two reconfigurable wavelength add/drop multiplexer (WADM) and optical cross-connect (OXC) devices based on strain-tunable fiber Bragg gratings (ST-FBGs) are proposed. The feasibility of WADM is verified by measuring the bit-error-rate performance of the dropped (cross-connect) and pass-through (no cross-connect) channels over a 50- and 100-km standard single-mode fiber for a 2.5 Gb/s system. Compared to back-to-back transmission, a negligible power penalty of only 0.2 dB is observed.
