Jh. Chen et al., CHANNEL MONITORING, CONTROL AND EQUALIZATION OF MULTICHANNEL FIBER TRANSMISSION-SYSTEM BY MULTISECTION INTEGRATED ACTIVE-FILTERS, Electronics Letters, 34(14), 1998, pp. 1411-1413
An integrated four section distributed Bragg reflector filter was empl
oyed as a channel filter and power controller/equaliser in an eight ch
annel wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system. Automatic channel
locking and dynamic gain control within a range of 12 dB were achieved
with a channel rejection ratio of 20 dB. This device has the potentia
l to be a good candidate to simplify the management of a WDM network.
