“…For instance, the EEC characterizing AO interactions in the plane bc (the propagation direction is inclined by 20 deg with respect to the c axis) is equal to -0.108 [5], although, according to our data, it is notably less ( ef p = 0.07). Unfortunately, we cannot directly compare our results for the maximal AOFMs with the experimental data since, for the best of our knowledge, the experimental results on the efficiency of collinear AO interactions in the XY plane of LiNbO 3 have not yet been presented in the literature.…”

“…Note that the collinear AO diffraction of the reflection type is feasible at high enough AW frequencies only, whereas the transmission type can also be observed at low frequencies. The collinear AO diffraction is now successfully used for tunable AO filtering [2][3][4][5]. One can also remind of polarization converters constructed basing on the anisotropic collinear AO diffraction [6].…”

Abstract. We have shown that the maximal acoustooptic figure of merit for the collinear type of acoustooptic diffraction in LiNbO 3 crystals is peculiar for the interaction with acoustic wave QT 1 polarized parallel to the principal Z axis. All the interacting waves in this case propagate in the principal plane XY along the direction inclined by 50 or 130 deg with respect to the X axis. The acoustooptic figure of merit for this interaction type is equal to 10.07  10 -15 s 3 /kg.

“…A portion of the optical input is tapped at the WDM-OXC input, photodetected, and demodulated using a parallel channel subcarrier receiver to recover network and channel control information. Type I and II ADM's use the WDM dilated 2 2 acoustooptic switch architecture reported in [17] and [18]. Type III ADM uses a broadband optical circulator and wavelength selective filter to drop a single wavelength and bypass the remaining wavelengths.…”

“…Primary limitations in dense WDM systems are related to bit errors induced during multichannel exchange/bypass operations [22], [23] and may be overcome using techniques like spatial and/or wavelength dilation [24]. The MOSAIC dilated optical switch consists of cascaded, polarization independent, fully integrated apodized AOTF's made by Pirelli Cavi S.p.A [17] with filter bandwidth and sidelobe suppression designed for a 3.2 nm spaced WDM network. The first stage independently routes wavelengths to the second stage or to the wavelength demultiplexer.…”

The experimental demonstration of MOSAIC, a reconfigurable WDM add/drop network with subcarrier multiplexed control, is presented. The MOSAIC network implements the optical layer protocol to support bit-rate transparent multichannel lightpaths. Two types of add/drop multiplexers are implemented and combined in a three-node experiment. Multihop lightpaths are established giving an end-to-end bit error rate of better than 10 0 0 09 at 1.2 Gbps. The reconfigurable add/drop multiplexer is based on a novel dilated 2 2 2 2 2 acoustooptic filter switch crossconnect and an analog optoelectronic crossconnect that drives a ten-wavelength laser array transmitter up to 2.5 Gbps per wavelength. The fixed wavelength add/drop multiplexer utilizes a fast digitally tunable laser transmitter. Both add/drop multiplexers support bit-rate transparent 2R optoelectronic regeneration as well as wavelength translation. Subcarrier multiplexing on each wavelength is used to support channel state monitoring and channel equalization as well as transmission of digital network control information. Systems experiments demonstrate cascaded 2R optoelectronic regeneration with wavelength translation and cascaded multichannel optical switching with up to seven hops. It is shown that combining cascaded 2R optoelectronic regeneration with cascaded multichannnel optical switching can be used to balance jitter accumulation and amplified spontaneous emission generated amplitude noise to yield high signal-to-noise ratio for lightpaths. Index Terms-Optical add/drop multiplexers, optical networks, optical subcarrier multiplexing, optical transport networks, reconfigurable add/drop multiplexers, transparent optical networks, wavelength division multiplexing. I. INTRODUCTION R ECONFIGURABLE wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) add/drop fiber transport networks have the potential to satisfy the demands of future broadband communications applications [1]. Reconfigurability in the add/drop multiplexers will result in increased network configuration flexibility, remote provisioning, and protection switching capabilities.

Abstract. Anisotropies of the acoustooptic figure of merit (AOFM) and the effective elastooptic coefficient under the conditions of collinear diffraction have been analyzed for LiNbO 3 crystals. Narrow peak-like extremes have been revealed in the dependences of AOFM upon the orientation angle of the wave vector of the incident optical wave. We have also explained the reasons for the angular instability of the AOFM and the effective elastooptic coefficient.
