Abstract :
We provide baseline simulation results for cascaded Optical Crossconnects (OXCs) in an avionic WDM LAN platform, taking into consideration effects of loss and amplification for each optical network element (ONE). The simulations are supported by measurements performed on a prototype test bed, and are extended to show the effect of cascaded ONEs, including use of Optical Amplifiers (OA) if needed. The presented simulation results for 2.5Gb/s and 10Gb/s digital signals will be used to define key interfaces and optical transfer functions for the SAE International´s aircraft platform WDM LAN standards.
