Abstract :
The laser wavelength dependence on the temperature, polarization current, aging can represent a problem in networks where multiple multiplexing and demultiplexing operations occur. In this contribution we evaluate the system performance dependence on the laser frequency alignment, considering demultiplexing performed by some of the commonly used filters
