Rjs. Pedersen et al., CASCADING OF A NONBLOCKING WDM CROSS-CONNECT BASED ON ALL-OPTICAL WAVELENGTH CONVERTERS FOR ROUTING AND WAVELENGTH SLOT INTERCHANGING, Electronics Letters, 33(19), 1997, pp. 1647-1648
The authors demonstrate experimentally the possibility of cascading fi
ve optical cross-connects based on all-optical wavelength converters u
sed for routing and wavelength slot interchanging at a channel rate of
10Gbit/s. Furthermore, the possibility of both up-and down-conversion
from external to internal wavelengths is demonstrated, as well as an
input power dynamic range of 12dB.
