System degradation due to phase error induced crosstalk in WDM optical networks employing arrayed waveguide grating multi/demultiplexer
The phase error induced crosstalk within arrayed waveguide gratings (AWG) have been investigated theoretically as well as simulation. For WDM system, a crosstalk level of -21.9 dB causes a power penalty of 1 dB for 64 channels and less than 0.5 dB for 16 channels and 32 channels, respectively. For c...
