Crosstalk in WDM Switch

R1, G1, B1

R2, G2, B2

R3, G3, B3

R1, G2+DG1, B3

Imperfect separation of R1 and G1 at input demux means G1 mixes with G2 on output

Intrachannel crosstalk

Interchannel crosstalk

Power penalty

For intrachannel :

Worst-case received power

For interchannel :

Bidirectional system

Crosstalk Reduction

Dispersion
Intermodal dispersion : only in multimode fibers Polarization-mode dispersion : due to fiber core is not perfectly circular (big issue for very high speed system operating at 10Gbps bit rates and beyond)

Cromatic dispersion : arises because different frequency components of pulse travel with different group velocity.

Chromatic dispersion limits:

Dispersion compensation
