Abstract: An apparatus for shared optical performance monitoring (OPM) is provided. A wavelength sensitive device receives light at an input port and routes it wavelength selectively to a set of output ports. To perform optical performance monitoring on the output ports, a monitoring component of each output signal is extracted, and these monitoring components are then combined. A single OPM function is then performed on the combined signal. However, with knowledge of the wavelengths that were included in each output signal, a virtual OPM function can be realized for each output port. The per port functionality can include total power per port, power per wavelength per port, variable optical attentuation, dynamic gain equalization, the latter two examples requiring feedback.

Abstract: A wavelength selective switch is realized by combining a quantized dispersion element and an array of switching means. The quantized dispersion element enables to concentrate all the wavelengths within predetermined wavelength bands onto the same location in the switching array. With this arrangement, a low fill factor switching array can be used while maintaining good flat-top spectral performance with no spectral dips and improving alignment tolerances.

Abstract: A wavelength selective switch is provided with a multiplexer such that both colourless (wavelength non-specific) and coloured (wavelength specific) ports are available. A waveguide device is employed with dispersive elements having different characteristics to realize the colourless and coloured ports within one waveguide device.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for all-optical wavelength add-drop switching are provided. A number of optical ports, including at least one input port and at least one output port, are each optically coupled to a respective dispersive element. When a multichannel optical signal is input through an input port, an optical beam of each channel emerges from the dispersive element at an angle depending upon its wavelength. The beams emerging from the dispersive element pass through a bulk optical element which redirects each beam toward a respective one of a number of routing or switching elements, each of which has been set to redirect the respective beam through the bulk optical element towards a selected dispersive element coupled to a selected output port.

Abstract: Modular WSS (wavelength selective switch) designs are provided that allow a WSS to be built out for a first set of wavelengths, with the capacity for later expansion to handle a second set of wavelengths with minimal impact on the operation of the system for the first set of wavelengths. An optical signal separator separates each incoming signal into the two bands, and at each output, the bands are then re-combined. In between, wavelength selective switching is performed separately for each of the two bands, or initially only for one of the bands, with later upgradability to switch the second band.
