Abstract:
Performance of link control techniques in SOA-based metro WDM-ring networks has been characterized in steady-state and dynamic conditions; such techniques in short-span ring networks provide XGM reduction, effective OSNR improvement and significant BER transient reduction during add/drop operation.
