Abstract :
We have described novel probabilistic methods to analyze the accumulation of impairments in wavelength-routed networks. We have used the model to calculate confidence limits for acceptable bit error rate performance in the presence of crosstalk from routing elements such as optical switches. Our calculation takes into account all possible network configurations and laser wavelength misalignment due to drift and referencing error.
