Abstract :
A new structure single-channel wavelength-selective switch based on fiber grating and fiber loop mirror is presented and the simulation explains the characteristics of the experimental results. A new multichannel configurable wavelength-selective switch is proposed and analyzed; this kind of switch can be used as routing or demultiplexer in dense wavelength-division multiplexing networking.
