Abstract

In response to the rapid growth in traffic, the throughput and handling unit size of optical network nodes have been increasing at a rate of approximately ten times per decade. To achieve such high node throughputs, it is important to expand the wavelength bandwidth and support more WDM fibers. Therefore, the transponder aggregator (TPA) that provides the colorless, directionless, and contentionless (CDC) function of the network node also needs to respond to these changes. As a TPA suitable for such ultra-high throughput reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) nodes, we propose a multicast switch (MCS) that consists of 1 × N splitters and M × 1 switches facing each other and utilizes a silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) platform. The CDC-ROADM nodes have a trade-off between the number of connected WDM fibers and the number of transponders that can be accommodated by a single TPA. Therefore, increasing the WDM fibers results in a decrease in the transponders that can be accommodated by a single MCS, but at the same time reduces the splitting loss in that switch. As a result, the number of optical amplifiers used for add/drop functions can be reduced. In addition, because the handling unit is larger, the increase in the number of required MCS units is limited, and highly integrated PLC-based MCSs become practical. In this paper, we demonstrate MCSs supporting 300-nm bandwidth and 32- and 64-degree nodes for the first time ever. The insertion loss of the prototype was less than 8.0 dB in all paths, including connections with common single-mode fiber, and the extinction ratio was greater than 40 dB.

用于CDC-ROADM节点的转发器聚合器,支持S-U频段和32/64-WDM端口
为了应对业务量的快速增长,光网络节点的吞吐量和处理单元大小以每十年大约十倍的速度增长。为了实现如此高的节点吞吐量,扩大波长带宽和支持更多的WDM光纤是非常重要的。因此,提供网络节点无颜色、无方向、无争议(CDC)功能的TPA (transsponder aggregator)也需要对这些变化做出响应。作为适合这种超高吞吐量可重构光加/丢复用(ROADM)节点的TPA,我们提出了一种多播交换机(MCS),该多播交换机由1 × N分路器和M × 1交换机相互面向组成,并利用基于硅的平面光波电路(PLC)平台。CDC-ROADM节点在连接的WDM光纤数量和单个TPA可容纳的转发器数量之间进行权衡。因此,增加WDM光纤导致单个MCS可容纳的应答器数量减少,但同时减少了该开关的分裂损耗。因此,用于添加/删除功能的光放大器的数量可以减少。此外,由于处理单元较大,所需MCS单元数量的增加是有限的,并且高度集成的基于plc的MCS变得实用。在本文中,我们首次展示了支持300nm带宽和32度和64度节点的mcs。样机在包括普通单模光纤连接在内的所有路径上的插入损耗均小于8.0 dB,消光比大于40 dB。
