Abstract

Semi-Analytical approach is presented to find the crosstalk in a Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transmission system with Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based wavelength multiplexer (MUX)/ De-multiplexer (DE-MUX). The analytical expression of crosstalk due to FBG based MUX/DE-MUX is developed considering the FBG Transfer function. The amount of crosstalk is evaluated by simulation and Bit Error Rate (BER) of a Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) system with cross talk is evaluated numerically. The penalty due to crosstalk at a BER of 10^-9 is determined for different FBG and channel parameters. It is found that crosstalk is significant and can be reduced by increasing channel separation and also can be minimized by choosing optimum system parameters.
