Manufacturing and testing consideration for various DWDM components

摘要

Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed Optical networks using all-optical devices represent the promising solution for future high-capacity wide-area network applications. One of the crucial factors which will determine their reliability and functionality is the performance of optical components. In this paper, Dense WDM Modules and Add/Drop Optical Modules are mainly considered. This paper discusses not only the theoretical advancement, but also the actual disposal in manufacturing those key DWDM components. We make long length of discussion on the optimum parameters, the realizable methods as well as testing consideration. All ideas are supported by practical results of experiment.
