Abstract

In this letter, we demonstrate the decoding stability of an optical hybrid filter (OHF) node module for an adaptive network to an environment temperature fluctuation. [Error free] signal decoding was observed from a temperature range of 0° to 60°. Improving athermal mounting technology would expand the applicable temperature range of an OHF node module as the passive node.
