Abstract

Wavelength routing for all-optical networks using WDMA has received increasing attention recently. In a wavelength-routing network, wavelength selective elements are used to route different wavelengths to their corresponding destinations. In this paper, system requirement in terms of maximum allowable crosstalk is derived for networks using static wavelength-routing devices. The methodology derived in this paper can also be applied to dynamic wavelength-routing devices
