Abstract

The impact of homodyne and heterodyne crosstalk on an optical signal passing through an optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) node in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) network is studied, and the analytical expressions for the power penalty are obtain. The statistical impact of crosstalk on signal is studied by simulation and the results compared with experimental data.
