Performance implications of three-mirror Fabry-Perot demultiplexers for 10-Gb/s...
Description
This letter assesses the performance of dispersion-supported transmission (DST) for three 10-Gb/s WDM channels separated 0.5 nm, using a three-mirror Fabry-Perot demultiplexer. It is shown that the use of three-mirror demultiplexers reduces the crosstalk penalty to less than 1 dB in the region of small linear increase of dispersion penalty of the DST method, while double-cavity Fabry-Perot demultiplexers are less suitable to operate at this channel spacing. Compared with published performance studies for WDM-DST systems with 1 nm of channel spacing, these results indicate the channel spacing may be cut in a half, if a three-mirror filter is used as demultiplexer
