Title
Comparison of cascadability performance of different types of commercially available wavelength (de)multiplexers
Abstract
The cascadability performance of different types of commercially available wavelength (de)multiplexers is evaluated with regard to the amplitude and group delay characteristic. The bit error rate performance at 10 Gbit/s NRZ of 30 cascaded devices in an optical loop testbed is presented.
