Abstract:We propose a new type of optical allpass filter useful for mitigation of Raman-induced crosstalk among pilot tones and similar low-frequency labels. Crosstalk rejection was characterized in a 40-wavelength lab test system, and shown to agree well with theory.
Pilot Tones in Photonic NetworksLow-frequency tones overmodulated onto a digital data stream have been widely studied as a means of tracing lightpaths and monitoring signal quality in photonic networks [1][2][3][4][5]. Typically, each laser transmitter is… Show more
