  • Abstract
    As transparent optical networks are scaled up in size, stringent constraints must be placed on the in-band crosstalk generated by their components. Measurements show that transparent networks corrupted by interferometric signal-crosstalk beat noise from only 8 crosstalk fields require component crosstalk levels <-35 dB. Good agreement with theory is shown.<>
