The impact of changing HNL-DSF parameters on wavelength exchanging

Abstract

Integrated Fiber (IF) approach for optical signal processing offers significant advantages in both performance and cost when compared to conventional electrical processing. The main problem in optical single processing is to maintain the data in the optical domain without converting it to the electrical domain. Currently, many devices have been proposed for processing the data in the optical domain. The Wavelength Optical Crossbar (WOC), one of the important devices in optical networks, has been developed based on the phenomenon of wavelength exchanging. High-NonLinear Dispersion Shifted Fiber (HNL-DSF) provides a good performance due to the high mixing efficiency. In this paper, we will study the impacts of changing the HNL-DSF parameter on the wavelength exchanging.
