Optical Network Control Overview

Frequency Dependence of Parameters

•

Many optical parameters can exhibit significant

variation over frequencies of interest to the

network these may include:

–

Channel insertion loss deviation (dB, Max)

–

Channel chromatic dispersion (ps/nm, Max, Min)

–

Channel uniformity (dB, Max)

–

Insertion loss (dB, Max, Min)

–

Channel extinction (dB, Min)

–

Channel signal-spontaneous noise figure (dB, Max)

–

Channel gain (dB, Max, Min)

–

Others TDB in conjunction with ITU-T Q6/15
