Optical transmission system

摘要

A device wavelength division multiplex optical transmission system has the wavelengths of the optical carriers arranged so as to reduce the effect of in-band crosstalk which results from unwanted side bands to the carriers. Possible wavelengths are placed on an equally spaced wavelength grid, and the transmitted channels are organized into groups of three each of which is placed on four adjacent grid positions, one of which is unused. Adjacent groups are spaced apart by two or more vacant grid positions.
