Optical components of WSS optical modules
Wavelength selective switching components are used in optical communications networks to route (switch) signals between optical fibres on a per-wavelength basis. The optical system for a WSS can be broadly divided into two sections: the wavelength section, which separates the input wavelengths using a dif-fraction grating, and the switch section, with its array of ports. A WSS comprises a switching array that operates on light that has been dispersed in wavelength without the requirement that the. Molex offers WSS products in Single- and Twin- formats, with port counts ranging from Single 1x2 to Twin 1x32+ products. To solve this problem, we propose a three-phase approach to construct a modular WSS-based OXC.
