AbstractA novel architecture of N×N bidirectional-reconfigurable multiwavelength optical cross connect (B-RMOXC) based on tunable Fiber Bragg grating and optical circulator is proposed. B-RMOXC network is one of crucial network element for wavelength routing in dense wavelength division multiplexing system. This paper presents a high speed, power compensated bidirectional optical cross connect and verified the performance of bidirectionality with 0.8-nm channel spacing having bit rate of 10 Gbps at different transmission distances. Optical signal-to-noise ratio of 36.62 dB and 35.55 dB is achieved with acceptable Quality factor of 6.26 and 6.99 respectively for upstream and downstream at 60 km having input transmission power of −12 dBm. It is found that the data can be communicated bidirectionally to a distance of 60 km in the presence of fiber nonlinearities without optical amplifier.

In this paper, we propose a new versatile routing device that utilizes arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs), optical switches, and optical circulators to implement reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADMs), optical interleavers, and optical cross-connect (OXC). With the development of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology, ROADM and OXC technologies have also been put into practical use. Thus, the optical signal can be routed directly in the optical network according to its wavelength without the need for optical-electrical-optical (OEO) conversion. Although different optical network units (ONUs) have different bandwidth requirements, the use of optical interleavers has successfully solved the connection problem between old and new systems. According to the numerical experiments of static characteristics, the proposed routing device can effectively implement three different functionalities, thereby providing greater flexibility for fiber optic network applications.
