Thickness monitoring of optical filters for DWDM applications.

چکیده
A method for thickness monitoring and turning-point prediction during deposition of narrow band pass optical filters (NBPF) for dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) applications is proposed. The method is based on a recurrent approach, with relative transmittance .tting, and includes partial coherence and monochromator bandpass e.ects. We show that the partial coherence e.ects in thin .lm structures are signi.cant and can not be neglected. The proposed method is applicable for precise thickness monitoring and deposition control of any complex multilayer coating.

A New Optical Waveguide for Implementation of Multi-wavelengths Narrowband Filters for DWDM Systems
We investigate the possibility of optical waveguide with multi-levels index of refraction in the core region (more than two-levels) for multi-wavelengths applications analytically and numerically. We show that with slowly varying apodization all of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) applications with 30-dB sideband suppression and insertion losses of less than 1-dB can be implemented...
متن کاملSearch for the Cause of Asymmetric Results of Monitoring Errors in DWDM Filters and the Benefits of Corrections in the Last Two Layers
In previous reports on the sensitivity to layer thickness errors of DWDM and similar narrow band filter coatings, it was noted that the effect of monitoring errors that occur before the turning point appear more severe than those that occur after it. No satisfactory explanation had been found for this result. We report on the search for the explanation of that and related findings. The previous...

متن کامل32-channel Optical Interleaver/deinterlea- Ver Using Fibonacci Quasi-periodic Struc- Tures
The design of Interleaver/Deinterleavers using Fibonacciclass quasistructures is proposed. We introduce an optical passive configuration composed of Fibonacci quasistructures and circulators which acts as interleaver and deinterleaver. Odd and even channels are interleaved/deinterleaved with dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) multichannel filter based on Fibonacci quasi-periodic stru...
متن کاملlambdaMON - A Passive Monitoring Facility for DWDM Optical Networks
This paper presents lambdaMON a novel approach to passive monitoring of very high performance optical networks based on dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). The approach offers very attractive cost/benefit scaling properties, which are further refined by introducing state-of-the-art transparent fiber switching equipment. The rapid pace at which we intend to implement lambdaMONs opens ...
