Abstract:

In recent years, telecommunication networks have experienced a drastic increase in traffic, which calls for the implementation of novel techniques for switching. With this aim, the design of a state-of-the-art 1 x 3 Wavelength Selective Switch using Mach-Zehnder Interferometers and Contra Directional Couplers is presented. The proposed device operates in the S+C+L bands, using 8 channels per band. To accomplish the device implementation, Silicon Photonics technologies will be employed. In the process towards its full realization, first, a novel architecture for the design of the physical layout will be developed. Within it, the band and channel treating of the signal are performed at specific physical blocks. The next step involves implementing the design using the OptoDesigner script language, producing the components that make up the device and placing connections among them. In summary, the Wavelength Selective Switch presented proposes an innovative approach and showcases the potential of advanced switching techniques for addressing the demands of modern telecommunication networks.
