Abstract

We report the results of the field trial of generalized multiprotocol label switching-based 40-Gb/s wavelength path protection by photonic cross-connect. In the trial, an automatic chromatic dispersion (CD) compensator was applied to maintain the quality of a signal after protection operation to compensate for the residual CD along the wavelength path. From the results of the field trial, we have made sure that the automatic CD compensation system is essential for the future all-optical wavelength path network.
